Dust Pneumonia Blues Lyrics
Dust Pneumonia 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
