Subject: Lyr Add: T B BLUES (Jimmie Rodgers)
Got these out of the new Jimmie Rodgers songbook. Hope it helps.

My good gal's trying to make a fool out of me
My good gal's trying to make a fool out of me
Tryin' to make me believe I ain't got that old T.B.

I've got the T.B. Blues
When it rained down sorrow it rained all over me,
When it rained down sorrow it rained all over me,
'Cause my body rattles like a train on that old S.P.

I've got the T.B. Blues
I've got that old T.B. I can't eat a bite,
Got me so worried so I can't even sleep at night.

I've got the T.B. Blues
I've been fighting like a lion, looks like I'm going to lose,
I've been fighting like a lion, looks like I'm going to lose
"cause there ain't nobody ever whipped the T.B. Blues
I've got the T.B. Blues

I've got the T.B. Blues
Gee but the graveyard is a lonesome place
Gee but the graveyard is a lonesome place
They put you on your back, throw mud down in your face
I've got the T.B. Blues
