aunt caroline dyer blues - memphis jug band lyrics

[verse one]
i’m going to newport news just to see aunt caroline dyer
i’m going to newport news just to see aunt caroline dyer
(what you gonna ask her, boy?)
she’s a fortune tellin’ woman, oh lord
and she don’t tell no lie
(i’m goin’ to see her myself)

[verse two]
i’m going to newport news, partner
catch a battleship across the doggone sea
i’m goin’ to newport news
catch a battleship across the doggone sea
because bad luck and hard work, oh lord, sure don’t agree with me
aunt caroline dyer, she told me
“son, you don’t have to live so rough” (yes)
aunt caroline dyer, she told me
“son, you don’t have to live so rough,”
“i’m goin’ to fix you up a mojo, oh lord, so you can strut your stuff”
(go on and strut your stuff!)

[verse three]
aunt caroline dyer, she told me
“son, these women don’t treat you no good”
aunt caroline dyer, she told me
“son, these women don’t treat you no good”
(you did not know that?)
“so take my advice and don’t monkey none in your neighborhood”
[verse four]
i am leavin’ in the mornin’, i don’t want no one to feel blue
yes, i am leavin’ in the mornin’, i don’t want no one to feel blue
(so we’ll all leave now!)
i’m goin’ back to newport news and do what aunt caroline dyer told me to
