Pneumonia Blues - Blind 'Lemon' Jefferson

Achin’s all over, believe I’ve got the pneumonia this time

I’m achin' all over, believe I’ve got the pneumonia this time

And it’s all on account of that low-down gal of mine

Sneakin' 'round the corners, runnin' up alleys, too

I say, I’m sneakin' 'round corners and runnin' up alleys, too

Watchin' my woman, tryin' to see what she gon' do

Stood out in the street one cold, dark stormy night

I stood out in the street one dark and stormy night

Try and see if my good gal gon' make it home all right

I believe she’s found something, that probably made her fall

She must’ve found something, and I believe it’s made her fall

I’ve stood out in the cold all night and she didn’t come home at all

Wearin' BVDs in the winter, prowlin' round in the rain

Wearin' BVDs in the winter and prowlin' round in the rain

Runnin' down my baby give me this pneumonia pain

Now, when I die, bury me in a Stetson hat

I say, when I die, bury me in a Stetson hat

Tell my good gal I’m gone, but I’m still a-standin' pat
