She's my c***-eyed consumption, Sarah Jane
Oh, she's my darlin', my daisy
She's knock-knee'd an she's crazy
She's bandy-legged, pigeoned toed
She don't wear no under clothes
Some folks say her breath smells sweet
But I would rather to smell her feet
She's my darlin' consumption, Sarah Jane

(harmonica & guitar)

She's a puffin' an blowin', Sarah Jane
She's a puffin' an blowin', Sarah Jane
She's a puffin' an blowin' an-a sweatin' an-a goin'
She's my darlin' consumption, Sarah Jane

(harmonica & guitar)

She's all pushed out, Sarah Jane
She's all pushed out, Sarah Jane
An her head pushed out, an her belly pushed in
She looks very well for the shape she's in
But she's my darlin' consumption, Sarah Jane

(harmonica & guitar)

She's a puffin' an blowin', Sarah Jane, yeah
She's a puffin' an blowin', Sarah Jane
She's a puffin' an blowin' an-a sweatin' an-a goin'
She's my darlin' consumption, Sarah Jane.

(harmonica & guitar to end)
