Irving Mills - Dusky Stevedore lyrics



Whooo,whooo

(Roll out an' heave 'dat cotton,
I's comin'...
Roll out an' heave 'dat cotton,
I's comin'...
Roll out, heave 'dat cotton!)

'Dis dusky stevedore
Down on that Swanee shore
I's a'hustlin' an' singin' a song
My dusky brow am wet
I doesn't mind 'da sweat
A'scuff'lin' all 'de day long

An' when ya' see my ragtime shuff'lin' gate
Ya' know I's happy 'cause I's hand'lin' freight
The levie's heaven for
'Dis dusky stevedore,
I's a'workin' and singin' 'bout,

Chops for Mamie, shoes for Sammy,
move 'dem bales away.
I broke 'dees stiches, I needs new britches,
Move them bales away.
Hey!...

Has you ever stood beneath the Dixie sky,
Seen the steamboats with the cargos loaded high,
Watched the happy husky duskies havin' fun,
Toilin' daily in the blazing sun?

'Dis dusky stevedore
Down on that Swanee shore
I's workin' an' singin' a song, roll on!
'Dis ol time song I sing
Dat makes my cares take wing
'dey help ease the hours along, roll on.

An' when ya' see my ragtime shuff'lin' gate
You know I's happy 'cause I's hand'lin' freight
Why can't y'all be more
like 'dis ol' stevedore
A'hustlin' an' singin' my song.

I's always singin' like a stevedore
Down on that Swanee shore
I's a'workin' an' singin' a song, Lawd,
'Dis ol time song I sing
'Dat makes my cares take wing
'Dey help ease the hours along, roll on.

An' when ya' see my ragtime shuff'lin' gate
Ya' know I's happy 'cause I's hand'lin' freight
Why can't y'all be more
Like this ol' stevedore
I's a'hustlin' and singin' my song.

Whoooo, whoooo,whooooo,whooo,whooo,whooooo
