TB Blues / Victoria Spivey

Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Lord, it's too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Well I'm on my way to Denver
I know I mustn't hesitate

TB is all right to have
But your friends will treat you so lowdown
Said TB is alright to have
But your friends will treat you so lowdown
Don't ask them for no favors
Why, they even stopped coming around

Mmm, TB's killing me
Mmm, TB's killing me
Why, you can just drop my poor body
Lord, in that deep blue sea

When I was on my feet
I could not walk down these streets
You men was lookin' at me
From my head to my feet
But oh now TB's killing me
You can just bury my poor body
Lord, in that deep blue sea
