Lyric Newport Blues (1926)

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.
