She got to take sick and die one of these days 
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days 
All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can 
hire 
She got to take sick and die one of these days 

When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep 
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep 
I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round 
her feet 
She got to take sick and die one of these days 

I got to take sick and die one of these days 
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days 
All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can 
hire 
She got to take sick and die one of these days 

She got to take sick and die one of these days 
She got to take sick and die one of these days 
All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can 
hire 
She got to take sick and die one of these days 

If it was me and all the powers in my hands 
If it was me and all the powers in my hands 
If it was me and all the powers laying there child in my 
hands 
She would have to go down to the promised land
