I was [C] down in Savannah, eatin' cream and bananas
When the [G7] heat just made me faint
I [G7] began to get cross-eyed, I thought I was lost, I'd
Begun to see things as they [C] ain't
As the [C] relatives gathered to see what's the matter
The doctor came to see was I [D7] dyin'
But the [C] doctor said, "Give him jug band music
It [G7] seems to make him feel [C] just fine"
I was [G7] told a little tale about a skinny-as-a-rail
Eight-foot cowboy with a [C] headache
He was [G7] hung up in the desert swattin' rats and tryin' to get
A drink of water with his knees a-gettin' [C] mud-caked
And I'll [C] tell you in a sentence how he stumbled in to Memphis,
Tennessee, hardly crawlin', lookin' [F] dust-baked
We [F] gave ‘im a little water, a little bit of wine
He [C] opened up his eyes, but they didn't seem to shine
Then the [C] doctor said, "Give him jug band music
It [G7] seems to make him feel [C] just fine"
[C] So if you ever get sickly, get Sis to run quickly
To the [G7] dusty closet shelf
And [G7] pull out a washboard, and play a guitar chord
And do a little do-it-your [C] self
And [C] call on your neighbors to put down their labors
And come and play the hardware in [D7] time
'Cause the [C] doctor said, "Give him jug band music
It [G7] seems to make him feel [C] just fine"
I was [G7] floatin' in the ocean greased with suntan lotion
When I got wiped out by a [C] beach boy
He was [G7] surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get me
And he dragged me by the armpit like a [C] child's toy
As we [C] staggered into land with all the waiters eatin' sandwiches
He tried to mooch a towel from the [F] hoi polloi
He [F] emptied out his eardrums, I emptied out mine
And [C] everybody knows that the very last line
Is "the [C] doctor said, 'Give him jug band music
It [G7] seems to make him feel just [C] fine'"
And the [C] doctor said "give him jug band music
It [G7] seems to make him feel [C] just fine"
