Newport News Blues
I'm going to Newport News mama, gonna catch a battleship across the doggone sea
(What you gonna do over there, boy?)
I'm going to Newport News mama, gonna catch a battleship across the doggone sea
(What for?)
Oh Lord, this woman that I'm loving, great God, partner do not care for me
(What kind of woman is that?)
And she's got a man.on her man, done got a kid man on her she can't kid.
She's got a man on her man, done got a kid man on her she can't kid.
(Have mercy, have mercy.)
Kid man has got so buggish, great god partner, just can't keep it hid
(What are you gonna do with him?)
Ah, don't you wish your easy roller, partner was little and cute like mine?
(I sure do, boy)
Ah, don't you wish your easy roller, partner was little and cute like mine?
For every time she walks, Lord, she sure brings that jack to town.
(I sure wanna see her)
