One Ache Over the Line
Old folks sore in the spine, sweet Jesus
Old folks sore in the spine
Sittin’ downtown for some X-ray action

With a hyperthyroid I’ve learned about the pain

If I should choose to make a part of me
Would surely strike me dead
And now I’m one ache over the line, sweet Jesus
One ache over the line
Sportin’ a big frown due to palpitations
One heart fallin’ behind
Waitin’ for the nurse to call home, sweet Mary
Hopin’ that the meds are on time
Now my vertigo brings on stoned sensations
One stroke over the line
I’d met all the docs and I’d learned to trust a few When to my surprise My drafty gown wound up open wide Before the RN’s eyes
And now I’m one ache over the line, sweet Jesus One ache over the line Waitin’ nightgowned for transfiguration One hope under the line …
