it's too late too late too late too late too late

It's too late too late too late too late too late

I'm on my way to Deadville and mama must I hesitate

She was runnin' with 25 or 30 men And one man in the bus she liked bestest of them all

He was a sweetback man And the mens was comin' around they asks her what she want

She didn't want nothin' from them then

But when her sweetback man come around to ask her for one dime you didn't see her no more

Her mama walked up and said Darlin' don't you worry

She looked at her mama and here' what she said:

T B 's alright to have if your friends'd treat you so low down

T B 's alright to have friends'd treat you so low down

Don't you ask 'em for no favors they even stop a-comin' around

Mama said Daughter don't you worry she looked at her mama here' what she said:

Mmmmmm the T B 's killin' me

Mmmmmm the T B 's killin' me

I'm a-like a prisoner I'm always a-workin' this chain

Her mama walked up to her daughter and said Don't you worry

She began to think about it but she was on her feet

Wearin' her high-heel slippers and her drop-stitch hose

She walked around to her mama here' what she said:

And it's on my feet couldn' even but walk down the streetWhere the men a-lookin' at me from my head to my feet

But it's late now that T B s killin' me

I want my body buried in the deep blue sea

These are the last few words she said

Her mama walked up looked down in her daughter's face and here' what her daughter said:

Mmmmmmmmmm

MmmmmmmmmmmmmMmmm

I've got a-too-bercolosis consumption is killin' me
