Sick Bed Blues

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
