# THE NEWPORT BLUES

## Hughes & Price

FRIDAY NIGHT AT NEWPORT,
FRIDAY NIGHT IT RAN NED.
FRIDAY NIGHT AT NEWPORT,
FRIDAY NIGHT IT RAN NED---
BUT DIZZY, JERRY, AND LOUIS
COME ON JUST THE SAME.

SETTIN' OUT THERE
IN THE RAIN AND WET.
I WAS SETTIN' OUT THERE
IN THE RAIN AND WET.
I COULD HAVE GOT PNEUMONIA
BUT I AAN'T GOT PNEUMONIA YET.

OH, THE NEWPORT BLUES IS
CATCHIN' AS CATCH CAN.
YES, THE NEWPORT BLUES IS
CATCHIN' AS CATCH CAN.
YOU MIGHT SLEEP IN THE VIKING,
ON THE BEACH, OR IN THE CAN.

I WAS SO MISERABLE
SETTIN' OUT THERE IN THE RAIN.
SO MISERABLE AND HAPPY
SETTIN' OUT THERE IN THE RAIN.
BUT WITH ALL THAT GOOD JAZZ,
I SURE WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

I GOT THE NEWPORT BLUES.
