Mungo's Blues (Dust Pneumonia Blues) Lyrics

I've got that dust pneumonia, pneumonia in my lung
I've got that dust pneumonia, pneumonia in my lung
And I'm gonna sing ya this dust pneumonia song

I went to the doctor, and the doctor said, "My son"
Yes, I went to the doctor and the doctor said, "My son
You got that dust pneumonia and you ain't got long"

Now there ought to be some yodeling in this song
There ought to be some yodeling in this song
But I can't yodel for the rattling in my lung

My good girl sings the dust pneumonia blues
My good girl sings the dust pneumonia blues
She loves me but she's got the dust pneumonia too

If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust
If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust
I can't find a woman in this black old Texas dust

Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong
Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong
If you want to get in, 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
