Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Elder Curry's Memphis Flu
Verse 1 line 2: I'm not sure what they're singing, but I'm pretty sure it isn't "disease." The word sounds like "dust." Does that make sense?

Verse 1 line 3: "People DIED ev'rywhere"

Chorus line 2: I think the words at the end are "can't you see"

Chorus line 4: I agree the lead singer seems to be singing "shame" but other people joining in may be singing "sins."

Verse 2 line 1: I don't think the words at the beginning of the line are "Memphis, Tennessee" but I can't make out what they are.

Verse 2 line 3: "SO HE SENT the doctor to bed"

Verse 3 line 2: begins with "CARRY a fever"
