John Lee Hooker - No Friend Around (T.B.'s Killin' Me) Lyrics

Artist: John Lee Hooker

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Bernard Besman, John Lee Hooker

Yes, I want my body buried
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee
Want my body buried now, people
Way down in Jackson, Tennessee

Don't you know, T.B. is killin' me
Don't you know, don't you know
T.B. is killin' me

Say, I was on my bed of affliction
I didn't even have a friend around
On my bed of affliction
Didn't even have a friend around, no, I didn't

Yes, I lay down cryin', cryin' to the good Lord above
I said, Lord, have mercy
Have mercy Lord, if you please
I said, ain't gonna cry no more
