Mungo's Blues
Performer(s): Mungo Jerry



I've got that dustpneumony
pneumony in my lung
I've got that dustpneumony
pneumony in my lung
And I'm gonna sing this dustpneumonia 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 dustpneumony and you ain't got long
not long

Now there ought to be some yodelling in this song
There ought to be some yodelling in this song

but I can't yodel for the rattling in my lung

My good girl sings the dustpneumonia blues

My good girl sings the dustpneumonia blues
She loves me 'cause she's got the dustpneumonia 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
