Spinal Meningitis Got Me Down - Live In Chicago

[Intro]

This is a blues

You know, this is Chicago

So, I know you like your blues

[Verse 1]

Why they wanna see my spine, Mommy?

Why they wanna see my spine?

It's gonna hurt again, Mommy!

Much worse than last time!

Am I gonna see God, Mommy?

Am I gonna die?

It really hurts, Mommy!

Am I gonna die?

[Chorus]

Smile on, almighty Jesus

Spinal meningitis got me down

Smile on, almighty Jesus

Spinal meningitis got me down

[Verse 2]

I'm feelin' greasy, Mommy!

Please don't let me die!

Stinky vaseline, Mommy!

Please don't let me die!

Am I gonna see God, Mommy?

Am I gonna die?

It really hurts, Mommy!

Am I gonna die?

[Chorus]

Smile on, almighty Jesus

Spinal meningitis got me down

Smile on, almighty Jesus

Spinal meningitis got me down
