merle travis - petticoat fever (live) lyrics

Loading...

well, my appetite, it ain’t a+workin’ right
and my heart keeps a+skippin’ time
oh, misery is k!llin’ me in this old soul of mine
one thing i’m sure, penicillin won’t cure

and i’ve got it (got what?)
i got the petticoat fever
and it’s makin’ a believer
out of poor old me
and i get it
every time i leave her
and the petticoat fever
lord, it’s k!llin’ me

i sent for the doctor to come
and he took one look at my tongue
and when i told him what i had done
he said to me

boy, you’vе got it (whatcha got, merle?)
you’ve got thе petticoat fever
and it’s makin’ a believer
out of me

well, i’ve got it (whatcha got, merle?)
i got the petticoat fever
every time i grieve her
i catch a brand+new case
when i’m with her
i’m on the streets of glory
but this petticoat story
that’s like the other place
i spent my very last cent
that i’d saved for payin’ my rent
just to buy me an oxygen tent
here’s what i learned

you can’t cure it
not the petticoat fever
and it’s makin’ a believer
out of me
lord, that petticoat fever
it’s a+k!llin’ me

(ha+ha, ahh, thank you merle fer the good ol’ petticoat fever)
(he says you can’t cure it, well, who wants to?)
