Pneumonia Blues
 

I'm aching all over : believe I got the pneumonia this time
And it's all on account of : that lowdown gal of mine

Slinking around the corner : running up alleys too
Watching my woman : trying to see what she going to do

Stood down in the street : one cold dark stormy night
Trying to see : if my good gal going to make it home all right

[I believe she's, she must have] found something : that probably made her fall
I stood out in the cold all night : and she didn't come home at all

Wear B V Ds in the winter : traveling around in the rain
Last time : my baby give me this pneumonia pain

Now when I die : bury me in a Stetson hat
Tell my good gal I'm going : but I'm still a‑standing pat
