Lonnie Johnson - Newport Blues (1926) lyrics

rate me

Oh, people in this world, is sure hard on me

Ah, people in this world, is sure hard on me.

Everywhere I go, somebody try to jam poor me.

This wide, wide world, is so big and round.

This wide, wide world, is so big and round.

Ain’t no way, to keep a good man down.

I’ve been you dog, every since I been your man.

I’ve been you dog, every since I been your man.

And I’m leavin’ you now, you do the best you can.

I’ve got the Newport blues, haven’t had a word to say.

I’ve got the Newport blues, haven’t had a word to say.

I’m down right now, but I won’t be down always.
