Sickness And Diseases Lyrics - Singles - Fairport Convention

I do hate to see a rover crippled in the stones 

Now he's one step nearer to the ground 

And I do hate to see a hawker broken in the bones 

(Chorus) 

Sickness and diseases pull you down, pull you down 

Sickness and diseases pull you down 

Everybody's got the sickness, everybody's down 

Running to the doctor with a pound 

"Doctor, doctor, do you have a needle big enough for me?" 

(Chorus) 

(Chorus) 

My friend Billy, well he looks so ill, his face is white as milk 

Everybody runs for miles when he's in town 

He's got every known disease and some without a name 

(Chorus) 

If you want to live to be a poor man or a prince 

Pay good attention when evil times abound 

Always listen to what your mother says and stay in bed at night 

(Chorus) 

(Chorus)
