[Jimmie Rodgers - Whippin' That Old T.B. lyrics]
Del-ee dee lay-ee
Listen all you rounders
You ought to be like me
Don't worry about consumption
Even if they call it TB
Dee yo-del lay-ee, oh lay-ee oh
Del-ee dee lay-ee
TB, TB, some say tonic is fine
You take all your medicine you want
I'll take good liquor for mine
Dee yo-del lay-ee, oh lay-ee oh
Del-ee dee lay-ee
Oh, the hospital and the doctor
Done everything they could (Lord, Lord)
Happiness and the sunshine, Lord
It's done me all the good
Dee yo-del lay-ee, oh lay-ee oh
Del-ee dee lay-ee
Don't let that old TB ever get you down
(Don't let it get you down)
First they want your insurance
Then they want to plant you in the ground
Yo-del lay-ee ee ee
(Play it boy, play that thing)
Just in your mind your troubles you forgot
(Get 'em boy) because good old contentment
It's going to help you a lot
Oh, dee yo-del lay-ee, oh lay-ee oh
Del-ee dee lay-ee
Ain't no use to worry
No use to lay down and die
'Cause nine times out of ten
Ain't nobody will cry
Dee yo-del lay-ee, oh lay-ee oh
Del-ee dee lay-ee
