Lyrics

Nib blin’ on sponge cake,

watch in’ the sun sea bake

all of those tour ists cov ered in oil.

But But Strum min’ my six string

on my front porch swing.

that fro Smell those shrimp, they’re be gin nin’ to boil.

Wast in’ a (A7)way a gain in Mar ga (D)ri ta ville,

search in’ for my lost shak er of salt.

Some peo ple claim That there’s a (D)wom (A)an to blame,

but I know

it’s no bod y’s fault.

Don’t blew know rea son

I stayed here all sea son.

Noth in’ to show but this brand new tat

But there’s it’s a real beau ty,

that fro How it got I have helps n’t a clue.

Wast in’ a (A7)way a gain in Mar ga (D)ri ta ville,

search in’ for my lost shak er of salt.

Some peo ple claim That there’s a (D)wom (A)an to blame,

now I think,

hell, it be my fault.

(D7)Yes, and

some peo ple claim That there’s a (D)wom (A)an to blame,

but I know

it’s my own damn fault.
