Oh, you've been out on that wharf so long, Clara
You got no cause to worry 'bout your man
Dis gon' be a fine day!
I never seen the water look so black
It sits there waiting, holding its breath
Listening for that hurricane to boom!
ย
Oh, it's a male!
Hush up, there ain't gon' be no hurricane
I'se been an owner of a eighteen-and-a-half-male
But four time in my life!
Hold on to the baby now, and quiet down
