Good Morning Captain

Well there's a ruckus on the levee

Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps

And if I make it till Sunday

I'm sho'nuff gonna ask the good Lord for help

With a moutfull of salt I try to explain

If money was sand I couldn't hold one grain

I feel like a thief that knows he's been framed

For leaving the watch but stealing the chain



Good morning, captain

I wish there was another way

But my baby is wantin

Me to roll around in her bed all day



Well the late nights got me reeling

Spillin out the bottle right into the next day

Got a funny little feeling gonna be like this until my dying day

There's mud in my eye but I can still see

Everybody in town is tryin to murder me

If they don't get me s'pose the hangman will

I better think twice about making this deal



Good morning, captain

I wish there was another way

But my baby is wantin

Me to roll around in her bed all day



Magnolia, magnolia

Let me rest under the shade of your leaves



Good morning, captain

I wish there was another way

But my baby is wantin

Me to roll around in her bed all day
