Lyrics

Standin' outside, y'all  
It's raining, children  
Gettin' soaking wet  
And it's raining, y'all  
Been put out, y'all  
Nowhere to go, children  
People all ask me, son  
Tell me what's wrong with you  
Tell 'em I've been sick, y'all, yeah  
Yes, I've been sick, children, yeah  
  
My baby got me  
In a terrible shape  
Lord, she got me sufferin'  
With a headache, yeah  
  
Lord, pain in my heart workin'  
Dragging my feet, y'all  
Twelve long days, children  
Had a bite to eat now  
y'all want to know, yeah  
Tell me what's wrong with me  
Said I've been sick, y'all, yeah  
Tell you I'm sick, y'all, yeah  
  
Now no doctor's medicine  
Will do me no good  
Lord have mercy, children  
I wished it would, yeah  
  
Somebody, sick, bad shape  
Pain, children, tremblin', y'all  
Legs are tremblin', Lord  
Hands are tied  
Feel like I got a headache  
Right here in my side  
Heart's turning over  
Beating like a drum, y'all  
Tom tom tom, yeah  
Heart's keep a beating, baby  
Now what's wrong with me  
Tell y'all I'm sick, y'all  
Said I'm sick, y'all  
Got me in a terrible shape  
Yeah honey  
  
Sufferin', children  
Lord, I'm tired of it, honey  
Rain is cold, children  
Burnin' my side, y'all  
Standing on the outside  
Water in my shoes, children  
She got me suffering, baby  
Oh that's bad news, man  
She got me moaning, y'all  
Troubles out calm, yeah  
She got me startin' to think  
Where did I come from, y'all  
Tell you I've been sick, y'all  
Yeah, I've been sick, y'all  
Everybody want to know.
