I come in home on Saturday night
    pull of my clothes and I lie down

I come in home on Saturday night

    pull of my clothes and I lie down

And that mornng just about the break of day
    the meningitis begin to creep around

My head and neck was paining me
    feel like my back would break in two

My head and neck was paining me

    feel like my back would break in two

I had suck a mood that morning
    I didn't know whatever to do

My compainon take me to the doctor
    doctor please tell me my wife's complaint

My compainon take me to the doctor
    doctor please tell me my wife's complaint

The doctor looked down on me shook his head

    said I wouldn't mind telling you son but I can't

He take me round to the city hospital
    the clock was striking ten

He take me round to the city hospital

    the clock was striking ten

I imagined my compainon say
    I don't believe I'll see your simling face again

Then the nicest officers began to stand around me
    the doctor had to hear me out

Then the nicest officers began to stand around me
    the doctor had to hear me out

Everytime I would have a potion 
    I would have a foaming at the mouth

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
    the meningitis killing me

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
    the meningitis killing me

I'm sittting I'm standing baby
    my head is nearly down unto my knee
