Well, I got the T.B.

And the T.B. is all in my bones

All in my bones

Yes, I got the T.B.

And the T.B.'s all in my bones

All in my bones

Well, the doctor told me

That I ain't gon' be 'ere long

Well, the T.B. is alright to have

But your friends treat you so lowdown

So lowdown with the T.B.

Yes, the T.B.'s alright to have

Your friends treat you so lowdown

So lowdown

Yeah, don't ask them for no favor

They will even stop comin' 'round

Stop coming 'round you

Well, I sent for the doctor

See what the doctor could do for me

Yes, I sent for the doctor

See what he could do for me

Do for me

He said, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry'

Lord have mercy on me

Oh yeah!

(guitar & instrumental)

Wow!

Yeah!

(Oh, yeah!)

Well, I know you're gon' miss me

Baby, when I'm dead and gone

Baby, when I'm dead and gone

Yes, you gon' miss me, amen

Baby, when I'm dead and gone

Well, you say I got the T.B.

Now-ow-ow

I'm dead and gone.
