Merle Haggard - Whippin' That Old T.B. Lyrics






Listen all you rounders you ought to be like me
Don't worry about consumption even if they call it T.B.

T.B., oh T.B., some say tonic is fine
Take all the medicine you want, I'll take good liquor for mine
De-yodel-ay-ee, a-lay-ee, oo-de-lee-da-lay-ee

And the hospitals and the doctors done all they could (Lord, Lord)
Happiness and the sunshine it really done me all the good
So don't let that old T.B ever get you down (Don't let it get you, boy)
First they want your insurance then they will lay you in the ground

Just stay in your mind troubles you forgot
'Cause good old contentment, Lord it's going to help you a lot
Ain't no use to worry, no need to lay down and die
'Cause nine times out of ten ain't nobody will cry

T.B., oh T.B., some say tonic is fine
Take all the medicine you want, I'll take good liquor for mine
De-yodel-ay-ee, a-lay-ee, oo-de-lee-da-lay-ee

    Listen all you rounders
    you ought to be like me
    Don't worry about consumption
    even if they call it T.B.

    T.B., oh T.B., some say tonic is fine
    Take all the medicine you want,
    I'll take good liquor for mine
    De-yodel-ay-ee, a-lay-ee, oo-de-lee-da-lay-ee

    And the hospitals and the doctors
    done everythinh they could
    But Happiness and the sunshine
    it really done me all the good

    So don't let that old T.B
    ever get you down
    First they want your insurance
    then they will lay you in the ground
    ***************
    Just stay in your mind troubles you forgot
    'Cause good old contentment,
    Lord it gonna help you a lot

    Lord it ain't no use to worry,
    no need to lay down and die
    'Cause nine times out of ten ain't
    and nobody will cry

    T.B., oh T.B., some say tonic is fine
    Take all the medicine you want,
    I'll take good liquor for mine
    De-yode-lay-ee, lay-ee, oo-lay-ee.....

    Great song, I really like this one. Please could you upload for me an alternate version of I Don't Want To Sober Up Tonight, it's on The Troubadour box set by Bear family (on Disc 3) the original album version is already on here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RINCG4Ps3g but the alternate version isn't. Thank you.
