ramblin’ jack elliott – arthritis blues lyrics
[verse 1]
went to the the doctor
the doctor looked sad
well, he looked in his book
and he told me what i had
and its all, kinds of trouble
going to find you somehow
[chorus]
arthritis is a thing to miss
it will leave you walking
with a double twist
and it’s all kinds of trouble
going to find you somehow
[verse 2]
can’t stand up, can’t lay down
you can’t sit in a chair
you can’t roll on the ground
and it’s all kind of trouble
going to find you somehow
[chorus]
[verse 3]
doctor, doctor, doctor
get your x-ray machine
well it feel so good
just about like morphine
and it’s all kind of trouble
going to find you somehow
[chorus]
[verse 4]
when you get to heaven
tell the judge for me
i’ve had sixteen years of the third degree
and it’s all kind of trouble
going to find you somehow
[chorus]
[outro]
all kinds of trouble, good lord
going to find you somehow
