[Verse] Sunrise drips on the deck like a silver spoon, Got a net full of dreams and a belly full of moon. Captain Joe says, "Pray before the tide," I say, "Lord, don’t let my luck run dry." [Pre-Chorus] The water hums, the engine groans, Sister Moon’s still in the backseat, all alone. [Chorus] Oh, the tide’s comin’ in, the tide’s comin’ in, Bring me my shrimp and my sweet old sin. Oh, the tide’s comin’ in, the tide’s comin’ in, I’ll sing you down to the bottom, my darlin’, I’ll sing you down. [Verse] Got a wife in Mississippi, two kids with their mama’s eyes, And this boat’s got more soul than a man with no lies. One foot on the rail, one hand in the sky, Lord, bless this haul and let me die with a smile. [Pre-Chorus] The water hums, the engine groans, Sister Moon’s still in the backseat, all alone. [Chorus] Oh, the tide’s comin’ in, the tide’s comin’ in, Bring me my shrimp and my sweet old sin. Oh, the tide’s comin’ in, the tide’s comin’ in, I’ll sing you down to the bottom, my darlin’, I’ll sing you down. [Bridge] Some men pray for mercy, I pray for a catch— A hundred pounds of luck, and a little black snatch. If I die when the sun dips low, Let the waves sing my name, let the night be my show. [Chorus] Oh, the tide’s comin’ in, the tide’s comin’ in, Bring me my shrimp and my sweet old sin. Oh, the tide’s comin’ in, the tide’s comin’ in, I’ll sing you down to the bottom, my darlin’, I’ll sing you down. [Outro] Oh, the tide’s comin’ in… Soul in the net, heart in the din… Tide’s comin’ in… Sing you down… Sing you down…
