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 |
