Lyrics Vern Gosdin – Damn The Fever
Text:
I know I’ve done her wrong again
God knows I never meant to hurt her
I made her a promise again last night I knew I would not keep
Morning finds me once again creepin’ up the stairs and down the hallway
Damn the fever in the blood
I never knew my daddy’s pain
He was always catchin’ trains and leavin’
Like mama knew he would
Leavin’ me with fever in the blood
She reaches out and touches me
God knows I don’t deserve this woman
She hides a trace of sorrow behind a smile the way I knew she would
Pretending she don’t notice the fragrance that still lingers on my body
She does everything she can to satisfy the fever in the blood
Damn the fever in the blood
I never knew my daddy’s pain
He was always catchin’ trains and leavin’
Like mama knew he would
Leavin’ me with fever in the blood
