Dust Pneumonia

Dust Pneumonia
(Woody Guthrie)

 I got that dust new-mon-ee, new-mon-ee in my lungs
 (Repeat above)
 And I'm gonna sing that dust new-mon-ee song
 I went to the doctor and the doctor said, "My son"
 (Repeat)
 "You got that dust new-mon-ee, an' you aint got long, not long"
 Now there ought to be some yodelin' in this song
 (Repeat)
 But I can't yodel for the rattlin' in my lungs

 My good gal sings the dust new-mon-ee blues
 (Repeat)
 She loves me 'cause she has the dust new-mon-ee too
 If it weren't for choppin my hole would turn to rust
 (Repeat)
 I can't find a woman in this black ol' Texas dust

 Down in Oklahoma, the wind blows mighty strong
 (Repeat)
 If you want to get a momma, just sing a California song

 Down in Texas, my gal fainted in the rain
 (Repeat)
 I throwed a bucket of dirt in her face, just to bring her back again
