Fever in my soul, thorns in my side Blues in my bones, holes in my pride Dust in my shoes, dust in my eyes Nothin in my pocket but the next sunrise
Hatties back in Vicksburg, Ellas in my dreams Could be heavens up in Harlem nothin what it seams Dollar in my hatband, guitar in a cotton sack Clean shirt in my suitcase Aint comin back
Early Sunday mornin Ninety-nine degrees in the shade Juniors settin behind the bar Countin all the money he made
Blind Lemons on the phonograph Shines in the Mason jar Without a good woman ana fast train You cant go but so far
Deacons in the church house, prayin for a sinner like me But theyll crucify a deacon down here Like they did Jesus from Galilee
Blues in my bones; thorns in my side Fever in my soul, holes in my pride Dust in my shoes, dust in my eyes Nothin in my pocket but the next sunrise
