I'm going to Newport News
just to see Aunt Caroline Dye
[What you gon' ask her, boy?]
She's a fortune-telling woman, oh Lord,
and she don't tell no lie
[I'm gon' to see her myself]
I'm going to Newport News, partner,
catch a battleship across the doggone sea
I'm going to Newport News,
catch a battleship across the doggone sea
Because bad luck and hard work, oh Lord,

Aunt Caroline Dye she told me,
"Son, you don't have to live so rough"
[Yes...]
Aunt Caroline Dye she told me,
"Son, you don't have to live so rough
"I'm going to fix you up a mojo, oh Lord,
so you can strut your stuff"
[Go on and strut yo' stuff!]

Aunt Caroline Dye she told me,
"Son, these women don't mean you no good"

I think it is one of your best. About all I hear that could be better is more volume on vocals or less on the git. Sounds great and I love the story told. Do you know any history on this song? Man, the playing and tone is mighty fine.
PS: the word for the day is PDQ.
