I remember I had TB when I was little. I thought it was "TV," like I watched too much TV...heh! A medicine for watching too much TV...that's what I thought TB was...
"The blues is a lowdown, achin' heart-disease: like consumption, killin' me by degrees."
Brilliant version by L.B. Make sure to watch the earlier version by Jimmie Rodgers too: /watch?v=kgObKhTzHe4 (The part about putting mud on top of you is really something.)
today i found a leadbelly cd called the midnight special at fye for 2 dollars and it had a picture of bukka white on the front and et me remind u IT WAS A LEAD BELLY CD WITH NO BUKKA SONGS ON IT
Thank you, I've been looking for this for a long time, haven't heard this for over 30 years...first got turned-on to this song, and Leadbelly, by my first real love, Gloria Hollahan, back in Santa Monica in 1971....all my love to you, wherever you are, Gloria...tony
