|
Layin' sick, honey, on my bed
|
I'm layin' sick, honey, and on my bed
|
I'm layin' sick, honey, and on my bed
|
I used to have some friends but they wish that I were dead
|
|
In awful pain and deep in misery
|
Awful pain and deep in misery
|
Awful pain and deep in misery
|
I ain't got nobody to come and see about me
|
|
And every dog, baby, got a day
|
And every dog, baby, got a day
|
Every dog, baby, got a day
|
But I said, "Please, don't you treat me this-a way"
|
|
The doctor came, lookin' very sad
|
The doctor came, lookin' very sad
|
The doctor came, lookin' very sad
|
He diagnosed my case and said it was awful bad
|
He walked away, mumblin' very low
|
He said, "He may get better but he'll never get well no more
|
|
I hollered, "Lord, oh Lord, Lord, Lordy, Lord
|
Oh Lordy, Lord, Lord, Lord
|
I been so badly misused and treated just like a dog"
|
|
I've got a long trip and I'm just too weak to ride
|
I've got a long trip and I'm just too weak to ride
|
I got a long trip and I'm just too weak to ride
|
Now it's a thousand people standin' at my bedside
|
|
You take a stone, you can bruise my bone
|
You take stone and you can bruise my bone
|
You take a stone and you can bruise my bone
|
But you sure gonna miss me when I'm dead and gone
|
|
I been on the ocean, I been across the sea
|
Been on the ocean, I been across the sea
|
Been on the ocean, I been across the sea
|
I ain't found nobody would feel my sympathy
