Dust Pheumonia Blues

Dust Pheumonia Blues - Woody Guthrie

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

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

If 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 want to 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 o' dirt in her face just to bring her back again
