"Shrimp Boats" was a popular song in the 1950s.sung by Jo Stafford Here are the lyrics (CHORUS): Shrimp boats is a-comin' Their sails are in sight Shrimp boats is a-comin' There's dancin' tonight Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home Look here! The shrimp boats is a-comin' There's dancin' tonight (Shrimp boats is a-comin', there's dancin' tonight) (REPEAT CHORUS) (SLOWLY): They go to sea with the evenin' tide And the women folk wave their good-bye (There they go... There they go) While the Louisiana moon floats on high And they wait for the day when they can cry... (CHORUS) (SLOWLY): Happy the days while they're mending the nets 'Til once more they ride out to sea (There they go... There they go) Then how lonely the nights will be 'Til that wonderful day when they sing... (CHORUS) (Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there's dancin' There's dancin' There's dancin' There's dancin' ...) Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there's dancin' tonight!
