Got the Jake Leg Too

歌詞

I went to bed last night Feeling mighty fine Two o'clock this morning The sickness was down my spine I had the jake leg too I had the jake leg too I woke up this morning I couldn't get out of my bed This stuff they call jake leg Had me nearly dead It was the jake leg too It was the jake leg too Looks like old Aunt Dinah Been in a hive of bees This stuff they call jake leg Has gone down in her knees She got the jake leg too She got the jake leg too A preacher drank some ginger He said he did it for flu That was his excuse For having the jake leg too He got the jake leg too He got the jake leg too Talk about your liquor Talk about your booze This stuff they call jake leg Has gone down in my shoes I got the jake leg too I got the jake leg too Boys, Jamaica ginger Sure will do its part Boys, Jamaica ginger Will kill your honest heart You got the jake leg too I got the jake leg too Now you've heard my story But I haven't told you half This on your tomb Will be your epitaph I had the jake leg too I had the jake leg too My song has grown monotonous One more thing I'd say For all you jake leggers I will always pray I had the jake leg too I had the jake leg too
