My gal?s trying to make a fool out of me,
Trying to make me believe I ain?t got that old T.B.
I?ve got the T.B. blues.

When it rained down sorrow, it rained all over me,
Cause my body rattles like a train on that old S.P.
I?ve got the T.B. blues.

Got me worried so I can?t even sleep at night.
I?ve got the T.B. blues.

I?ve been fightin? like a lion, looks like I?m going to lose.
I?ve been fightin? like a lion, looks like I?m going to lose,
Cause there ain?t nobody ever whipped the T.B. blues.
I?ve got the T.B. blues.

Gee, but that graveyard is a lonesome place.
Gee, but that graveyard is a lonesome place.
They put you on your back, throw that mud down in your face.
I?ve got the T.B. blues.
