Memphis Minni Jitis Blues |
| 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, «Doctor please tell me my wife’s complaint» |
| My companion take me to the doctor, «Doctor please tell me my wife’s complaint» |
| The doctor looked down on me, shook his head, «I wouldn’t mind telling you, son, |
| but I can’t» |
| «You 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» |
| 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, «I won’t see your smiling face again» |
