Intro
I was down in Savannah
Eatn' Cream and Bannanas
When the heat just made me faint
I began to get crosseyed
I thought I was lost
I'd begun to see things as they ain't.
As the relatives gathered to see what's the
matter
The doctor came to see was I dyin`
But the doctor said give him jug band music,
It seems to make him feel just fine
I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail
Eight foot cowboy with a headache
He was hung up in the desert swattin' rats
And tryn' ta get a drink of water with his knees
gettin' mud caked
And I'll tell you in a sentence how he stumbled
into Memphis Tenessee
Hardly crawlin` lookin` dust baked.
We gave 'im little water; a little bit of wine
He opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to
And the doctor said give him jug band music
It seems to make him feel just fine
