Pneumonia Blues

Whoa, you know I'm achin' all over
You know I believe I got a pneumonia this time
Whoa, you know I'm achin' all over, now baby
You know I believe I got a pneumonia this time
Yeah, you know my head hurt me so bad
Till I'm almost to go blind
Whoa, you know I went home last night
Hurtin' so bad I couldn't hardly see
Oh Lord, have mercy
Oh Lightnin' couldn't hardly see
Yeah, you know I since got aspirin, it was no good
What man but a beast in Hell, poor me
