Good Morning Captain

Well there's a ruckus on the levee

Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps

And if I make it to Sunday

I'm sho'nuff going to ask the good lord for help

With a mouthful of salt, I tried to explain

If money was sand, I couldn't hold one grain

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 night's got me reeling

Spilling 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 trying 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

Good morning captain

I wish there was another way

But my baby is wantin'

Me to roll around in her bed all day
