And I went down to the Touro Infirmary
Lord, I seen my runnin' partner down there
Stretched out on a cold, white table
With a D.O.A. sticker in her hair
Say let her go, let her go, let her go
Lord, won't you bless her
Lord, wherever she may roam
ย
Lord, all the stuff she boosted
Don't you know, officer, just took her home
Say now when I die, I want a ten-dollar gold piece on my eyelid
I want loaded craps in my shoe
ย
And I want the finest workin' girls around here
I wanna hear Professor Longhair sing the low-down, gut-bucket blues
ย
Baby, you know that I never did love you
Know that I never did care
You put your funky knuckle arms around me, baby
I'm gonna hit you with a rockin' chair
You give me pneumonia, you give me pneumonia, baby
The love you gave me had grown so cold
I got pneumonia in my heart and my soul
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the sky
But you won't be able to tell the difference
'Cause I'm gonna blacken the both of your eyes
You give me pneumonia, you give me pneumonia, baby
The love you gave me had grown so cold
Got pneumonia in my heart and my soul

Doctor John
Doctor John McRevenack from New Orleans
Thank you
