High Fever Blues Lyrics - Singles - Bukka White

I'm taken down with the fever and it won't let me sleep 

I'm taken down with the fever and it won't let me sleep 

It was about three o'clock before he would let me be 

I wish somebody would come and drive my fever away 

I wish somebody, come and drive my fever away 

This fever I'm havin' sho' weaves in my way 

The fever I'm havin' sho' is hard on a man 

The fever I'm havin' sho' is hard on a man 

They don't allow my lover come and shake my hand 

I wonder what's the matter with the fever, sho' is hard on a man 

I wanna know what's the matter, how come this fever hard on a man 

Doctor said, "Ain't the fever, that's your lover has another man" 

Doctor get your fever gauge and put it under my tongue 

Doctor get your fever gauge and put it under my tongue 

Doctor says, "All you need, your lover in your arms" 

I wants my lover come and drive my fever away 

I wants my lover come and drive my fever away 

Doctor says she'll do me more good in a day 

Than he would in all of his days
