Overseas Stomp (The Lindy) - Grateful Dead

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

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»
