Mmmmm, the meningitis killin' me
Mmmmm, the meningitis killin' me
I'm sittin' not standin' baby, I had that menin' down to my knees
I comin' home one Saturday night, pull off my clothes and I lie down
I comin' home one Saturday night, pull off my clothes and I lie down
And that mornin' just about day, the meningitis began to creep around
My head and neck was failin' me, feel like my back was breakin' two
My head and neck was failin' me, feel like my back was breakin' two
Lord I had such a mood that mornin', I didn't know what in the world to do
My companion take me to the doctor, "doctor please tell me my wife's complaint"
My companion take me to the doctor, "doctor please tell me my wife's complaint"
That doctor looked down on me, shook his head, "that was my intention son, but I can't
Just take her 'round to the city hospital, jus' as quick quick as you possible can
Take her 'round to the city hospital, jus' as quick quick as you possible can
Because the condition she's in now, you will never go home live again"
Comin' around to the city hospital, the clock was strikin' ten
Comin' around to the city hospital, the clock was strikin' ten
I heard my companion sayin', I will see your smilin' face again
