I know they're gonna run take me

When they get across the sea

Ever' chance, those women; Watch-it's amazing

It's all safe and now sugar baby



Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone.

Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea.



Oh Mama, how can it be, You went way across the sea

Just to keep from doing that Lindy fight with me

Oh baby, well I done just told'ja now



Oh Mama, don't you weep and moan, Uncle Sam got your man and gone.

Now then they're doin' the Lindy Bird across the sea.



She said, "Let me play the blues on your piano

And then I'll do that Lindy thing with you."

Mary had a dream about a submarine.



I asked her for a glass of payolla;

She said, "Let me play the blues on your Victrola,

And then I'll do that Lindy fight with you
