Washington D.C. Hospital Center Blues

Yes, I was a good man
 But I'm's a po' man
 You understand
 In the hospital, now
 In Washington D.C.
 Ain't got nobody
 To see about me
 But I'm's a good man
 But I'm's a po' man
 You can understand
 All the doctors
 And nurses, too
 They came and they asked me
 'Who in the world are you?'
 I says, I'm the good man
 But I'm's a po' man
 You can understand
 The doctors and nurses
 They shakin' their head
 Said, 'Take this po' man
 And put him to bed'
 Because he's a good man
 We know he's a po' man
 We can understand
 I didn't go hungry
 I had a-plenty to eat
 I had good treatment
 And a place to sleep
 Because I was a good man
 They knew I was a po' man
 They could understand
 I met a little damsel
 She promised me
 That she would love me
 And always be sweet
 She found out I was a po' man
 And I thought I was a good man
 She couldn't understand, no
 Now, when she left me
 She got in the do'
 She waved me, good-bye
 I haven't seen her no mo'
 She found out I was a good man
 She knew I was a po' man
 She couldn't understand
 The doctors and nurses
 They shakin' my hand
 Say, 'You can go home now, Skip
 You's a sound, well man'
 Because you's a good man
 You's a po' man
 We can understand
 I'd thankin' my doctor
 And I was shakin' his hand
 I'm gon' play these, 'Hospital Blues'
 'Till you's a wealthy man'
 You took me as a good man
 You know'd I was a po' man
 You could understand
 You know'd I was a good man
 But I'm's a po' man
 You-ooo can understand!
