Memphis Minnie-Jitis Blues (Take B)

歌詞

Hmmmm, the meningitis killin' me Hmmmm, the meningitis killin' me I'm bending, I'm bending, baby, my head is nearly down to my knees I comin' home one Saturday night, pull off my clothes and I lie down I comin' home one Saturday night, pull off my clothes and I lie down And next morning just about day, the meningitis began to creep around My head and neck was paining me, feel like my back was break in two My head and neck was paining me, feel like my back was break in two Lord, I had such a mood that morning, I didn't know what in the world to do My companion take me to the doctor, &quotDoctor please tell me my wife's complaint&quot My companion take me to the doctor, &quotDoctor please tell me my wife's complaint&quot The doctor looked down on me, shook his head, &quotI wouldn't mind telling you, son, but I can't&quot &quotYou take her 'round to the city hospital, jus' as quick, quick as you possibly can You take her 'round to the city hospital, jus' as quick, quick as you possibly can Because the condition she's in now, you will never go home live again&quot He rode me 'round to the city hospital, the clock was strikin' ten He rode me 'round to the city hospital, the clock was strikin' ten I hear my companion say, &quotI won't see your smiling face again&quot
