washington d.c. hospital center blues - skip james lyrics

Loading...

yes, i was a good man
but i’m’s a po’ man
you understand

in the hospital, now
in washington d.c.
ain’t got n-body
to see about me

but i’m’s a good man
but i’m’s a po’ man
you can understand

all the doctors
and nurses, too
they came and they asked me
‘who in the world are you?’

i says, i’m the good man
but i’m’s a po’ man
you can understand

the doctors and nurses
they shakin’ their head
said, ‘take this po’ man
and put him to bed’

because he’s a good man
we know he’s a po’ man
we can understand

i didn’t go hungry
i had a-plenty to eat
i had good treatment
and a place to sleep

because i was a good man
they knew i was a po’ man
they could understand

i met a little damsel
she promised me
that she would love me
and always be sweet

she found out i was a po’ man
and i thought i was a good man
she couldn’t understand, no

now, when she left me
she got in the do’
she waved me, good-bye
i haven’t seen her no mo’

she found out i was a good man
she knew i was a po’ man
she couldn’t understand

the doctors and nurses
they shakin’ my hand
say, ‘you can go home now, skip
you’s a sound, well man’

because you’s a good man
you’s a po’ man
we can understand

i’d thankin’ my doctor
and i was shakin’ his hand
i’m gon’ play these, ‘hospital blues’
’till you’s a wealthy man’

you took me as a good man
you know’d i was a po’ man
you could understand

you know’d i was a good man
but i’m’s a po’ man

you-ooo can understand!
