T.B. Is KIlling Me

Now, but, ooh, the T.B is killing me
Ooh, yeah baby, the T.B is killing me
Yes, I want my body buried
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee

When I was on my bed afflicted, baby
You didn't even down to come around
When I was sick and in my bed, baby
You wouldn't even down to come around
And you know one thing baby
The TB was killing me

When I was up on my feet
I had friends all over town
When I was up on my feet
I had friends all over town
But when I got sick and in my bed
I didn't have a friend that came around

OOh now, the TB is killing
I declare, I declare, declare
Don't you know the TB is killing me
Someone should write to my mother
Lord and tell her the shape I in.

I sit by your will everybody
I believe this is the end
I sit by your will everybody
I And don't you know
And don't you know
The TB is killing me
