Track byBrownie McGhee & Sonny Terry
Well I'm a sick man now My health is failin' me Yeah I'm a sick man now Poor Terry's health is failin' me Well you know it got me so worried Oh It'll only end in misery Whoah ya know I went all over the world Done everything a poor man could do Oh ya know I been all over the world Done everything a poor man can do Well ya know I had a whole lot of pretty women And I drank a whole lot of whiskey too Well I never got what my mama told me She said son don't travel so fast Well I never forget what my mama told me She said Sonny Boy don't travel so fast Cuz up the line the devil got the road blocked And he just won't let you pass Oh yeah Well ya know I ain't gonna worry Oh but I think I done pretty well Oh ya know I ain't want to worry Poor Sonny done pretty well Well ya know if I die and I don't go to heaven I be way down in burnin' hell
