Meningitis Blues 歌詞
Meningitis Blues - Memphis Minnie
I come home one Saturday night
Pull off my clothes and lie down
I come home one Saturday night
Pull off my clothes and lie down
And that morning just about the break of day
The meningitis began to creep aroung
My head and neck was paining me
Seem like my back would break in two
My head and neck was paining me
Seem like my back would break in two
I hurried to the neighbors 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
Companion you take me to the doctor
Doctor please tell me my wife's complaint
Doctor looked down on me shook his head
Said I wouldn't mind telling you son but I can't
He taken me down to the city hospital
The clock was striking ten
Taken me round to the city hospital
The clock was striking ten
I imagine my companion say
I don't believe I'll see your smiling face again
Then the nurses all began to stand around me
The doctors had done get me out
The nurses all began to stand around me
The doctors had done get me out
Every time I would have a potion
I would have a foaming at the mouth
Mmm the meningitis killing me
Mmm the meningitis killing me
I'm spinning I'm spinning baby
My head is nearly down in to my knees
