Achin' all over, b'lieve I got the pneumonia this time
Achin' all over, I b'lieve I got the pneumonia this 
time
An' it's all on account of that low-down gal of mine
Yeah
Slippin' round the corners, runnin' up alleys too
Slippin' round the corners, runnin' up alleys too
Tryin' to find my woman, see what in the world she 
goin' do
Wearin' B.V.D.'s in the winter, prowling 'round in the 
rain
Wearin' B.V.D.'s in the winter, prowling 'round in the 
rain
Runnin' down baby, give me this pneumonia pain

Sat out in the streets one cold, dark, stormy night
Sat out in the streets one cold, dark, stormy night
Trying to see if my good gal going to make it home all 
right
Must've found somethin', Lord have mercy it made her 
fall
I believe she found somethin', Lord have mercy it made 
her fall
I stayed out in the street all night and she didn't 
come home at all
When I die, bury me in a Stetson hat
I said when I die, bury me in a Stetson hat
Tell my good gal I'm gone but I'm still up, standing 
pat
