The Felice Brothers - Memphis Flu lyrics

rate me

Nineteen hundred twenty nine

Pretty women

Men are dying

Call a nurse

Call a doctor

Call a priest (call a priest)

It's already killed the rich and poor

And it's gonna kill some more

If we don't turn away from our shame

Hospital I lie

And I know I'll surely die

But I don't wanna die (Please don't die!)

Memphis flu is in your bed

And it will surely kill you dead

If we don't turn away from our shame

The nurse came to my bed

And she dropped my medicine

Told my partner

Please try and go

Get me some more (get me some more)

Well we're in the devils book

He won't need no second look

If we don't turn away from our shame

I've got Memphis Flu

And the preacher's in my room

And he singing my last prayer

Memphis flu is in my bed

And it will surely kill me dead

If we don't turn away from our shame

Nineteen hundred twenty nine

Pretty women

Men are dying

Call a nurse

Call a doctor

Call a priest (call a priest)

Well we're in the devils book

He won't need no second look

If we don't turn away from our shame

Hospital I lie

And I know I'll surely die

But I don't wanna die (Please don't die!)

Memphis Flu is at our door

And it will surely kill the rich and the poor

If we don't turn away from our shame

Oi!

Wahoo!<br />
