High Fever Blues
Written by Bukka White

I'm taken down with the fever, and it won't let me sleep
I'm taken down with the fever, and it won't let me sleep
It was about three o'clock, before he would let me be

I wish somebody, would come and drive my fever away
I wish somebody, would come and drive my fever away
This fever I'm havin', sure weaves in my way

What's the matter with the fever, sho' is hard on me
What's the matter with the fever, sho' is hard on me
Doctor said "it ain't the fever, that's your lover letting you be"

Doctor get your fever gauge, and put it under my tongue
Doctor get your fever gauge, and put it under my tongue
Doctor says "all you need girl, your lover in your arms"

I want my lover, come and drive my fever away
I want my lover, come and drive my fever away
Doctor says he'll do me more good, than he would in all of his days
