Dust Pneumonia Blues

Dust Pneumonia Blues - Woody Guthrie with his Guitar

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
