Lord, I got the sickness blues.
Must have done something wrong.
Lord, I got the sickness blues. I must
have done something wrong.
There ain't no lord to call on,
I went to see the doctor,
he shot me with poison germs
he shot me with poison germs
I got out of the hospital,
my head was full of worms
All I can think is death, father's getting old
All I can think is death, father's getting old
He can't walk half a block,
his feet feel cold I went down to
Indians sellin' turquoise in
Fonda, I could get sick anywhere
Fuckin' those pretty boys
Because I've been chasin' joys
playing with my toys I must have been doing something wrong, eating cigarettes
All my poems down in hell,
Doctor doctor bring morphine
Sick and angry at the national universe
Someday I'm gonna get outta here
Yeah, I'm gonna leave this town
With the noise of a rattlin' bow
I got the sickness blues,
you'll miss me when I'm gone.
