The Grateful Dead — Overseas Stomp The Lindy

I know they're gonna run to me When they get across the sea Every chance to win when Washington lands in France All safe for now sugar baby Oh mama don't you weep and moan Uncle Sam got your man and gone Now they're doing that Lindy Bird across the sea Oh mama how can it be You went way across the sea Just to keep from doing that Lindy Bird with me Oh baby, well, I done told you now You should have seen me with my uniform on I could Lindy just as sure as you're born And then I'd do that Lindy Bird with you [Guitar solo] I asked her for a piece of banana She said, "Let me play the blues on your piano And then I'll do that Lindy Bird with you" She said she had a dream about a submarine Now, I asked her for a glass of k-ola She said, "Let me play the blues on your Victrola And then I'll do the Lindy Bird with you"
