(harmonica and guitar intro) |
Now, but, ooh, the T. B's is killin’me |
Now, an’I want my body buried |
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee |
Now, when I was upon my feet |
An I couldn’t even walk down the street |
Pretty women, lookin’at me From my head to my feet |
But ooh, T.B.'s is killin’me |
Now, an’I want my body buried |
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee |
I ain’t goin’to buy you no more pretty dresses |
I ain’t gonna even, buy you no diamond ring |
An’I’m 'onna a-sell my V8 Fo' |
'Cause I don’t want a doggone thing |
Because ooh, the T.B.'s a-killin'me |
Now, an’I want my body buried |
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee |
Well now, my mother she said one thing |
You know my father said the same |
'You keep on foolin''round, Sonny Boy |
They gon’change your name.' |
But I told her, 'Ooh, mama T.B.'s is killin’me' |
Now, an’I want my body buried |
Down in Jackson, Tennessee |
Well now, here I am here sick, baby |
You know an’I’m, a-layin'here in my bed, now |
Even won’t none of my friends, come an even |
Rub my achin’head |
Because ooh, 'n T.B.'s is killin’me |
Now, an’I want my body buried |
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee. |
