Out on a shrimp boat I just dropped the netWhen the wind she come to blowin' whizzin' bad all to getI look south east and golly me what I seeA black thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrowsCome a lookin' direct towards boudleaux and meI turned to boudleaux and me I saidPut the sugar to bed put the sugar to bedLock up the coffee in the coffee potPut the flour in your pillow cause it's all we gotHang the lantern from the ceiling and watch your headHo boudleaux put the sugar to bed boudleauxput the sugar to bedWell the sky she get dark and then she turn dark blackI yell she gonna blow one right out of the almanacA big raindrop smacked me right on the earAnd I hollered hey boudleaux but the way the wind blowHe just as soon be deaf there wasn't no how to hearI try to call to boudleaux but slid insteadThen me and boudleaux put the sugar to bedWell the ends of that shrimpin' boat was switchin' aroundShe turned sideways and inners and outers and upside downThe water come in tryin' to drown the both of usThe closet top open and the shillet went a flyin' meI hit my head and kinda cussBut most of all I frowned when she calm that I saidPut the sugar to bed put the sugar to bedAin't nothin' dry but my railroad watch thesalt got soggy but we still can budgeWe built a fire for the coffee and we chicory fedCause me and boudleaux put the sugar to bedMe and boudleaux put the sugar to bed
