Dust Pneumonia Blues lyrics

I got that dust pneumony, pneumony in my lung

I got the dust pneumony, pneumony in my lung

An' I'm a-gonna sing

This dust pneumony song

I went to the doctor, and the doctor said, "My son

I went to the doctor, and the doctor said, "My son

You got that dust pneumony

An' you ain't got long, not long"

Now there ought to be some yodelin' in this song

Yeah, there ought to be some yodelin' in this song

But I can't yodel

For the rattlin' in my lung

My good gal sings the dust pneumony blues

My good gal sings the dust pneumony blues

She loves me 'cause

She's got the dust pneumony, too

If it wasn't for choppin', my hoe would turn to rust

It wasn't for choppin', my hoe would turn to rust

I can't find a woman

In this black ol' Texas dust

Down in Oklahoma, the wind blows mighty strong

Down in Oklahoma, the wind blows mighty strong

If you wanna get a mama

Just sing a California song

Down in Texas, my gal fainted in the rain

Down in Texas, my gal fainted in the rain

I throwed a bucket of dirt in her face

Just to bring her back again
