Whippin’ That Old T.B. Jimmie Rodgers

[Yodeling]
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee oh, del-ee-dee-lay-ee

[Verse 1]
Listen all you rounders, you ought to be like me
Don't worry about consumption, even if they call it T.B.​

[Yodeling]
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee oh, del-ee-dee-lay-ee

[Verse 2]
T.B., T.B., some say tonic is fine
You take all your medicine you want, I'll take good liquor for mine

[Yodeling]
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee oh, del-ee-dee-lay-ee

[Verse 3]
Oh, the hospital and the doctor, done everything they could (Lord, Lord)
Happiness and the sunshine, Lord, it's done me all the good

[Yodeling]
Dee-yo-del-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee oh, del-ee-dee-lay-ee

[Verse 4]
Don't let that old T.B. 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
