Lyrics G.I. Blues - Lightnin' Slim

Know my baby got the G.I. fever
Folks, I just can't cool her down
Know my woman got the G.I. fever
Folks, I just can't cool her down

Every time she sees some handsome sergeant
You know she breaks right down and clown

Now you can always tell
When her soldier boy back in town
Yes, you can always tell
When her soldier boy back in town

She'll put on her knee-high skirt
And strut the streets all up and down

Now I'm goin' down to the draft board
I'm gon' fall down on my knees
Yes, I'm goin' down do the draft board
I'm gon' fall down on my knees

You know I'm gonna pray to Uncle Sam
Give me someplace in this army, please
