about

My friend, Jim Christian, and I teamed up on this song. The hospital asked me to write a song regarding infection control, specifically wearing masks to prevent spread of the Corona Virus. It hits on all the bullet points. Slow down the spread, until it dies on the ground. Getting informed can be fun.

lyrics

Roll Over The CoVid
Doc Mason / Jim Christian
Verse 1
G
Well I made a little record,
C G
Gonna send it to the CDC.
C
Attention Doctor Fauci,
G
You been thinking like me.
D7
We’ll take the bite out of CoVid,
G
Do the easy steps one-two-three.

Verse 2
G
You got to wash those hands,
C G
Try to stay six feet apart.
C
It won’t be a cake walk,
G
We all must do our part
D7
Seems so simple,
G
You know it’s the way to start

Verse 3:
G
You get the CoVid pneumonia,
C G
Ya gonna find it aint the regular flu
C
And if you don’t wear a mask,


G
You could end up in the ICU.
D7
If we’re gonna kick the CoVid
G
It’s the little things we have to do.

G
So if your fever’s risin’, better stay home.
G
You’ll be feeling tired ache, in you bones.
C7
If you’re short on breath go, to the ER.
G
If the course gets rough, know, here we are
D7 G
Roll Over The CoVid, gonna mask up two by two.

Verst 5
G
Early in the morning,
C
I'm a giving you the warning.
G
Don't you land on my blue suede shoes,
C
Hey, CoVi-diddle.

Gonna play my fiddle now,
G
We got a lot to lose.
D7
Roll Over The CoVid,
G
Tell Tony Fauci the news.


Verse 6
G
We got that vaccine comin’
C G
Help to get us back to where we been.
C
When we all work together
G
It’s better than sink or swim,
D7
We got to all be vigilant
G
Don’t let this thing happen again.

Reprise:
G
Roll Over The CoVid

Roll Over The CoVid
C7
Roll Over The CoVid
G
Roll Over The CoVid
D7
Roll Over The CoVid
G
Gonna kick these CoVid blues.

I was a 20 years old pre-med student when I was given a Gibson Guitar for Christmas in 1970. I took to it. Music had long been a part of my life.

I cut my teeth on Hank Williams… Summer of 1972, I met a Blues Guitar playing sharecropper named, Mance Lipscomb, who advised me to, “Be the best at what you do.” I took that to heart. ... more
