Lyrics
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
