I'm Sick Y'All - Otis Redding

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

«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 wanna 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

But nobody’s got to

Get me off this shape

Yeah honey, oh y’all

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 wanna know

Why I’m a wreck, y’all
