I'm going to Newport News
just to see Aunt Caroline Dye
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,
sure don't agree with me

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!]
{fancy guitar duet}

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.
