Misc Originals - Marianne styles - jimmie the giant blue crab

Here’s a ^Amstory about Jimmie the giant blue crab. And the best hot pot we ^Dmever ^Ehad. Our J^Amimmie put up ^Dmquite a ^Amfight, so let me tell you the ^Dmtale ^Amof ^Ehis ^Amlife:

When ^Amfirst we met this giant, blue crab He was just a ^Dmwee, little ^Elad. A J^Amimmie of unre^Dmmarkable ^Amsize, with a stomach ^Dmbigger ^Amthan ^Ehis ^Ameyes.

His ^Ampincers scraped our trot lines clean. Looming deadrise ^Dmhulls didn’t ^Amdaunt him. He grew and grew be^Dmneath ^Ethe ^Amwaves. Jimmie waved one ^Eclaw to ^Amtaunt us.

^AWay down the ^DChesapeake ^ABay You’ll find a ^ESalty ^AHooker ^DAnd the ^Abest blue ^Ecrabs and a ^Dwater ^Erode^Ao! ^DOn an ^AIsland ^Ethey call ^AHooper’s.

One ^Amfine day in May out on the bay, In love, Jimmie ^Dmdidn't need a ^Etutor. As a ^Amgiant crab, what an ^Dmedge he ^Amhad Over Miss Sook's ^Dmother ^Amsuitors^E. ^Am

“I’m ^Ambig, I’m tall, I’m strong,” said he. As Jimmie danced a ^Dmlittle ^Amjig. Alas, Miss Sook with a ^Dmwithe^Ering ^Amlook, Said, “You’re much too ^Ebig for ^Amme!”

^AWay down the ^DChesapeake ^ABay You’ll find a ^ESalty ^AHooker ^DAnd the ^Abest blue ^Ecrabs and a ^Dwater ^Erode^Ao! ^DOn an ^AIsland ^Ethey call ^AHooper’s.

So ^AmJimmie swam further down the bay, In search of more ^Dmdelectable ^Epickings. En ^Amroute he crossed a giant ^Dmocto^Ampus; our poor Jimmie ^Dmtook a ^Amlicking^E! ^Am

An ^Amoctopus of fearsome size, how did this ^Dmcome to ^Ampass? Alas, a Skipjack ^Dmbold ^Eand ^Amsleek, had disturbed her ^Edaytime ^Amnap.

Miss ^AmPammy’pus, the legends all say, had the best garden be^Dmlow the ^Ewaves, Broken ^Amshells, sea glass and ^Dmother ^Amthings, like a rusted ^Dmcanister ^Amof ^EOld ^AmBay.

“Old ^AmBay”, cried Jimmie, his eyes gone wide. He continued ^Dmin a ^Amwhimper, “Perhaps my time in the ^Dmpot ^Edraws ^Amnigh?" He queried ^EPam in a ^Amwhisper.

“Miss ^AmPam”, asked he,”your fine hearts three, do they beat in ^Dmtime for a^Enother? Creatures ^Amvast as we, un^Dmder the ^Amsea, Should really ^Dmstick tog^Amether.^E” ^Am

Miss ^AmPam replied, with her nine-brained mind, “Dear Jimmie, you’re ^Dmnot mis^Amtaken. My fine hearts three beat ^Dmnot for ^Amthee, They belong to the ^DmCook in the ^Amkitchen.^E” ^Am

Then ^AmCook swept in, making such a din, he couldn't catch our Jimmie ^Dmby sur^Eprise. So there’s an^Amother in our pot, and there’s ^Dmquite a ^Amlot, Pull up a ^Dmchair and ^Amknife.^{E Am}

And when you ^Amhappen down, below Cambridge town, Remember well this ^Dmsong I ^Amsing. Jimmie never took a wife, but he ^Dmled a fine ^Amlife. He earned those ^Dmangel ^Amwings^E. ^Am
