Guitar Blues |
Boys, you ever heard that tale 'bout Winnie the Wailer? |
She fell in love with that redhead sailor. |
Boy, he made her fall, and she fell hard. |
Then he left poor Winnie flat in the navy yard. |
Cryin' boo hoo hoo, |
She said, «Boo hoo hoo.» |
Now she moaned all day, |
And she wailed all night. |
Because that sailor man didn’t do her right. |
Yeah man. |
Then she traveled 'round, |
From 'Frisco to China. |
She met a guy way over in Asia Minor. |
He got a kiss on that very first trip. |
He promised her that ride on that battle ship. |
She cried, «Boo hoo hoo, |
I’ll get even with you. |
She says, «Now you may smile, |
Then you may frown, |
But I can’t let you keep poor Winnie down.» |
Do it again. |
Then she met sailor man named Popeye the Skipper. |
When she was mean, boy how he used to whip her. |
He loved ta fight 'n, and she was tough. |
He had to leave her 'cause she plays too rough. |
Ship ahoy, |
Ah, ship ahoy. |
She knows her Qs, |
And she knows her Ps. |
Now poor Winnie sails them seven seas. |
Ah, swing it. |
I do believe. |
Now then she met a sailor man, he knowed the ocean. |
He fell in love with her, give her his devotion. |
He says, «I put a many a gal on the spot, |
Ah, but Minnie you got me tied in that sailor’s knot.» |
I said, «I'll get even with you, |
Ah, I’ll get even with you.» |
Now boy one day the hearse stop, |
At poor Winnie’s door, |
And now she can’t wail no more. |
