ODETTA
"TB Blues"
(Victoria Spivey)

Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
I'm on my way to Denver
I know I must not hesitate
Too late, too late

TB is alright to have
But your friends will treat you so low down
Said TB is alright to have
But your friends will treat you so low down
Don't ask any of them for no favors
For they're bound to stop coming around
Too late, too late

Mmm, TB is killing me
Mmm, TB is killing me
And you can bury my whole body
Down in the deep blue sea
Too late, too late

When I was on my feet
I could not walk down the street
For you men, looking me up and down
My head to my feet
But now TB, killing me
You can bury my body
In the deep blue sea

Too late, too late
Too late, too late, too late
Umm, too late
Mmm, hmm, hmm
Too late, too late
