A
Well, the Gulf it got a grassy bottom
                   E
setting where the rock is there
And that's where I've been going
           A
for the shrimping sailing
Leaping across the grassy moss
                E
bringing in a briny bin
Making folds of wondrous waddy
                 A
for the living that I'm loving

D                      A
Where they creep and crawl and
           E                A
flip and flap and flob and dangle dobbing
Sponge a fouler drag them holler
more a course the ocean horse

Of soddy bodies dressed in dandy
eating carmel candy
Makin' me and all by babies folding
wads of wondrous waddy
For the living that I'm loving in
between the shrimping sailing

Gulf, it got a grassy bottom
setting where the rock is there
Leaping across the grassy moss
bringing in a briny bin
Making folds of wondrous waddy
for the living that I'm loving
Where they creep and crawl and
flip and flap and flob and dangle dobbing

Sponge a fouler drag them holler
more a course the ocean horse
Till it's time to haul them come back
in with the briny bin
Of soddy bodies dressed in dandy
carmel candy eating chicken
Finger licking, dancing, rancing,
mancing, tancing
Making me and all by babies foldin'
wads of wondrous waddy
