Hole where I used to fish, you got me posted out

I got dead shrimps here, someone fishin' in my pond
             E7                      D7                  A7  E7
Catchin' my goggle-eye perches, and they barbequin' the bone

Now you taken my shrimps, baby, you know you turned me down

You taken my shrimps, oh, know you turned me down
