about
Blue crabs are North Carolina’s number one fishery, and having grown up on an island where fishing was second only to tourism it seemed fitting to write a blues song from the perspective of the poor delicious little crustaceans. I figured I would include some education on current proper fishing practices and the incredible ability of crabs to molt in order to grow bigger and reproduce claws, legs, antennae, and even their eye stalks (which technically grow back into more antennae).
lyrics
I’ve got the crab pot blues
I’ve got the crab pot blues
I walked into this cage earlier today
and I can’t find any way to escape
I’ve got the crab pot blues
Here’s a little story about my frustration
It’s hard to live life as a spiny crustacean
I’m a beautiful savory swimmer
but it seems like everyone wants me for dinner
not as a guest who shows up late
they all want me on the dinner plate
I’ve got the crab pot blues
I’ve got the crab pot blues
Now my fellow Stone crab got stuck in this trap
but he’s not gonna have it quite as bad
I’ve got the crab pot blues
The old Stone crabs got pretty big claws
And the old fisherman is going to take them both off
But he will live to see another day
Cause he’ll grow em both back eventually
But my lucks run out, like it or not,
They’re going to throw me into a big steam pot
I’ve got the crab pot blues
I’ve got the crab pot blues
Now I’m showing off my big claws, pretty and blue
so I’m not alone when I have to go through with
I’ve got the crab pot blues
My girl’s got some pretty orange claws
but not as nice as that spongy orange ball
of baby blue crab eggs hiding under her tail
protected from predators and being for sale
she’ll get released into safe deep water
while I’m getting dipped into melted butter
I’ve got the crab pot blues
I’ve got the crab pot blues
I’ve been in his cage for three long days, now there’s 12345678
I’ve got the crab pot blues
