Song Of The Shrimp Chords & Lyrics - Elvis Presley

CAPO on 2 or 3 works well for this song

[E]I saw three shrimp in the [B7]water, two were old and [E]grey
[E]I swam a little bit [A]closer and, I [B7]heard the third one [E]say

[E]Goodbye [A]Mama shrimp, [E]Papa shake my [B7]hand
[E]Here come the [A]shrimp boat for to [E]take me [B7]Louisi[E]an'
[E]Here come the [A]shrimp boat for to [E]take me [B7]Louisi[E]an'

[E]He showed his Mama and [B7]Papa, the shrimp newspaper he [E]read
[E]An invitation to [A]all the shrimp, and [B7]this is what it [E]said

[E]Free Ride, [A]New Orleans, [E]stay in grand [B7]hotel
[E]Meet Creole g[A]al who help you [E]come out [B7]of your [E]shell
[E]Meet Creole g[A]al who help you [E]come out [B7]of your [E]shell

[E]If I should live to be [B7]ninety, I will never [E]forget
[E]The little shrimp and the [A]song he sang
As he [B7]jumped into the [E]net

[E]Goodbye [A]Mama shrimp, [E]Papa shake my [B7]hand
[E]Here come the [A]shrimp boat for to [E]take me [B7]Louisi[E]an'
[E]Here come the [A]shrimp boat for to [E]take me [B7]Louisi[E]an'

[E]Here come the [A]shrimp boat for to [E]take me [B7]Louisi[E]an' (repeat 3 times to fade)
