Pneumonia Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
