[Intro] Spoken
Am
Here’s a story about Jimmie the giant blue crab.
Dm E
And the best hot pot we ever had.
Am Dm Am
Our Jimmie put up quite a fight,
Dm Am E Am
so let me tell you the tale of his life:
[V.1]
Am
When first we met this giant, blue crab
Dm E
He was just a wee, little lad.
Am Dm Am
A Jimmie of unremarkable size,
Dm Am E Am
with a stomach bigger than his eyes.
Am
His pincers scraped our trot lines clean.
Dm Am
Looming deadrise hulls didn’t daunt him.
Dm E Am
He grew and grew beneath the waves.
E Am
Jimmie waved one claw to taunt us.
[Chorus]
A D A
Way down the Chesapeake Bay
E A
You’ll find a Salty Hooker
D A E D E A
And the best blue crabs and a water rodeo!
D A E A
On an Island they call Hooper’s.
[V.2]
Am
One fine day in May out on the bay,
Dm E
In love, Jimmie didn't need a tutor.
Am Dm Am
As a giant crab, what an edge he had
Dm Am E Am
Over Miss Sook's other suitors.
Am
“I’m big, I’m tall, I’m strong,” said he.
Dm Am
As Jimmie danced a little jig.
Dm E Am
Alas, Miss Sook with a withering look,
E Am
Said, “You’re much too big for me!”
[Chorus]
A D A
Way down the Chesapeake Bay
E A
You’ll find a Salty Hooker
D A E D E A
And the best blue crabs and a water rodeo!
D A E A
On an Island they call Hooper’s.
[V.3]
Am
So Jimmie swam further down the bay,
Dm E
In search of more delectable pickings.
Am Dm Am
En route he crossed a giant octopus;
Dm Am E Am
our poor Jimmie took a licking!
Am
An octopus of fearsome size,
Dm Am
how did this come to pass?
Dm E Am
Alas, a Skipjack bold and sleek,
E Am
had disturbed her daytime nap.
[Chorus]
A D A
Way down the Chesapeake Bay
E A
You’ll find a Salty Hooker
D A E D E A
And the best blue crabs and a water rodeo!
D A E A
On an Island they call Hooper’s.
[V.4]
Am
Miss Pammy’pus, the legends all say,
Dm E
had the best garden below the waves,
Am Dm Am
Broken shells, sea glass and other things,
Dm Am E Am
like a rusted canister of Old Bay.
Am
“Old Bay”, cried Jimmie, his eyes gone wide.
Dm Am
He continued in a whimper,
Dm E Am
“Perhaps my time in the pot draws nigh?"
E Am
He queried Pam in a whisper.
[Chorus]
A D A
Way down the Chesapeake Bay
E A
You’ll find a Salty Hooker
D A E D E A
And the best blue crabs and a water rodeo!
D A E A
On an Island they call Hooper’s.
[V.5]
Am
“Miss Pam”, asked he,”your fine hearts three,
Dm E
do they beat in time for another?
Am Dm Am
Creatures vast as we, under the sea,
Dm Am E Am
Should really stick together.”
Am
Miss Pam replied, with her nine-brained mind,
Dm Am
“Dear Jimmie, you’re not mistaken.
Dm Am
My fine hearts three beat not for thee,
Dm Am E Am
They belong to the Cook in the kitchen.”
[Chorus]
A D A
Way down the Chesapeake Bay
E A
You’ll find a Salty Hooker
D A E D E A
And the best blue crabs and a water rodeo!
D A E A
On an Island they call Hooper’s.
[V.6]
Am
Then Cook swept in, making such a din,
Dm E
he couldn't catch our Jimmie by surprise.
Am Dm Am
So there’s another in our pot, and there’s quite a lot,
Dm Am E Am
Pull up a chair and knife.
Am
And when you happen down, below Cambridge town,
Dm Am
Remember well this song I sing.
Dm Am
Jimmie never took a wife, but he led a fine life.
Dm Am E Am
He earned those angel wings.
[Chorus]
A D A
Way down the Chesapeake Bay
E A
You’ll find a Salty Hooker
D A E D E A
And the best blue crabs and a water rodeo!
D A E A
On an Island they call Hooper’s.
[Outro]
D A E A E A
On . . . an Island they call Hooper’s!
