All of my friends come to see me last night,

I was laying in my bed and dying.

Annie Bonneau from St. Angel, Say the weather down there so fine.

Verse 2       Just then the wind came squalling through the dark,

But who can the weather command?

Just want to have a little peace to die,  And a friend or two I love at hand.

Lead = Verse

Verse 3       Fever roll up to a hundred and five.

Roll on up, gonna roll back down.

One more day I find myself alive,  Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.

Shine through my window and my friends they come around, 

Come around, come around, around.

 

Verse 4       The people might know, but the people don't care,

That a man can be as poor as me.

Take a look at poor Peter, he's lying in pain,

Now let's come run and see, run and see,

Run and see, run, run and see, and see.

Jam in D7
