Newport News Blues

I'm goin' to Newport News, Mama
Gonna catch a battleship across the doggone sea
I'm goin' to Newport News, Mama
Gonna catch a battleship across the doggone sea
‘Cause the woman that I'm lovin'
Great god, partner, do not care for me

And she's got a man on her man
Got a kid man on her she can't kid
She's got a man on her man?
Done got a kid man on the doggone kid
Kid man has got so buggy
Great god, partner, just can't keep it hid

Don't you wish your easy roller
Partner, was little and cute like mine?
Don't you wish your easy roller
Partner, was little and cute like mine?
‘Cause every time that she walks
Lord, she sure brings that sack to town

What you gonna do?
I'm goin' to Newport News, Mama
Gonna catch a battleship across the doggone sea
I'm goin' to Newport News, Mama
Gonna catch a battleship across the doggone sea
‘Cause the woman that I’m lovin’
God God partner, do not care for me
