T. B. Sheets Songtext / Lyric

Now, listen, Julie baby

It ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight

It ain't natural for you to cry way into midnight through

Until the wee small hours, long 'fore the break of dawn

Oh, Lord



Now, Julie, an' there ain't nothin' on my mind

More further 'way than what you're lookin' for

I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door

And looked into my eyes



Your little star struck innuendos, inadequacies an' foreign bodies

And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane

Numbs my brain

And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane

Numbs my brain, oh, Lord



So, open up the window and let me breathe

I said, open up the window and let me breathe

I'm looking down to the street below, Lord, I cried for you

I cried, I cried for you, oh Lord






The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room

The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room

And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets

And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets

On your sick bed



I gotta go, I gotta go

And you said, "Please, stay I wanna, I wanna

I want a drink of water, I want a drink of water

Go in the kitchen, get me a drink of water"



I said, "I gotta go, I gotta go, baby"

I said, "I'll send, I'll send somebody around, later

You know we got John comin' around here later

With a bottle of wine for you, baby, but I gotta go"



The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room

The cool room, Lord, Lord, is a fool's room

And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets

I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, T.B.



I gotta go, I'll send around, send around one that grumbles later on, babe

See what I can pick up for you, you know that

Yeah, I got a few things going too

Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, don't worry



Go, go, go, go, gotta go

Gotta, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go

All right all right



I turned on the radio, wanna hear a few tunes

Turn on the radio for you

There you go, there you go

There you go, baby, there you go



You'll be all right too, yeah

I know it ain't funny, it ain't runny at all, baby

You laying in the cool room, man

You laying in the cool room, in the cool room
