I was out this morning, I wasn't feeling just right I've had a funny feeling all day and all night When you're sick with the blues, don't know what to do Get a brownskin woman and let her perform an operation on you There's a brownskin woman, she lives out on the hill She used to cure patients and she cures them still When you're sick with the blues, don't know what to do Get a brownskin woman and let her perform an operation on you She will take a restorating from your head on down You'll think you'll be in heaven, but you will still be in town When you're sick with the blues, don't know what to do Get a brownskin woman and let her perform an operation on you "Oh, when you're sick with the blues" You will feel better than you ever felt in your life Trying to get the doctor woman to be your wife When you're sick with the blues, don't know what to do Get a brownskin woman and let her perform an operation on you You'll ask the doctor woman about being your wife Her daily occupation is saving sick men's life When you're sick with the blues, don't know what to do Get a brownskin woman and let her perform an operation on you
