 [C]       I was down in Savannah, eatin' cream and bananas

 [G7]       When the heat just made me faint
            (
 [G7])
        I began to get cross-eyed, I thought I was lost, I'd

 [C]       Begun to see things as they ain't
               (
 [C])
        As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter

 [D7]       The doctor came to see was I dyin'

 [C]       But the doctor said, "Give him jug band music

 [G7]       It seems to make him f[C]eel just fine"

 [G7]       I was told a little tale about a skinny-as-a-rail

 [C]       Eight-foot cowboy with a headache

 [G7]       He was hung up in the desert swattin' rats and tryin' to get

 [C]       A drink of water with his knees a-gettin' mud-caked
                 (
 [C])
        And I'll tell you in a sentence how he stumbled in to Memphis,

 [F]       Tennessee, hardly crawlin', lookin' dust-baked
           (
 [F])
        We gave him a little water, a little bit of wine

 [C]       He opened up his eyes, but they didn't seem to shine
                 (
 [C])
        Then the doctor said, "Give him jug band music

 [G7]       It seems to make him f[C]eel just fine"

[repeat intro]

        So if you ever get sickly, get Sis to run quickly
        To the dusty closet shelf
        And pull out a washboard, and play a guitar chord
        And do a little do-it-yourself
        And call on your neighbors to put down their labors
        And come and play the hardware in time
        'Cause the doctor said, "Give him jug band music
        It seems to make him feel just fine"

        I was floatin' in the ocean greased with suntan lotion
        When I got wiped out by a beach boy
        He was surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get me
        And he dragged me by the armpit like a child's toy
        As we staggered into land with all the waiters eatin' sandwiches
        He tried to mooch a towel from the hoi polloi
        He emptied out his eardrums, I emptied out mine
        And everybody knows that the very last line
        Is "the doctor said, 'Give him jug band music
        It seems to make him feel just fine'"

[repeat bars 1 and 4 of intro]
