about

A song by Skip James.

lyrics

9. "WASHINGHTON D.C.” 4:02
(Skip James)


I'm in the hospital
Washington D.C.
Ain't got nobody
To see about me

You know I'm's a good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand

All the doctors
And nurses, too
They come and ask me
'Who in the world are you?'

I say, I'm the good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand

The doctors and nurses
They shakin' their heads
Say, 'Take this po' man
And put him to bed'

You know he's a good man
But he's a po' man
We can understand

I met a little lady
She promised me
That she would love me
And always be sweet

She found out I was a po' man
And thus I was a good man
She couldn't understand, no

Now, when she left me
She got in the do'
Waved me, good-bye
I haven't seen her no mo'

You know I'm a good man
But I'm a po' man
You can understand

The doctors and nurses
They shakin' my hand
'You can go home now, Skip
You're a sound, well man'

You know you're a good man
But you're a po' man
We can understand

I'd thankin' my doctor
And I was shakin' his hand
I'll play this Blues
'Till you're a wealthy man'

You knew I was a good man
But I was a po' man
You could understand
