Thank you, I edited ; just one or two words still to find. I guess it's "I used...", but used what ?

I've been sick with the flu, then I had pneumonia on both sides... that was two weeks before Christmas, but now, all the blues I've been playin', think I'll give y'all a couple of church numbers. I ain't never through with the blues yet, but you know, I gotta get well first before I play too many blues. Church songs now, cause, you know, I might die... - Furry Lewis, 1969, from Fourth & Beale, Lucky Seven CD9202

I can't quite make it out but am wondering if it's partially a brand name. Sounds like one of the words could be Vicks.
Could be, John. I recall my mom telling me about people wearing bags with garlic around their necks and other folk remedies to open up the airways and sinuses back in the 20's in NE PA. I checked and came across "Asphidity Bags" that were worn around the neck. It's not a stretch to think that some people put Vicks in them as well.

Big Bill covered this song which Frank Stokes had done, but at a much slower, almost draggy (in a good way) tempo. Someone (presumably Big Bill, since the fiddling stops when the singing starts) plays real nice fiddle on this. I cannot figure out the very last line. Here's what I've got, any suggestions??
Here it is on Youtube: Sweet tomama, sweet tomama Where did you stay last night, pretty mama Sweet tomama, where did you stay last night Said when you come home pretty baby the sun was shining bright You left home this morning, left home this morning, sun was shining bright pretty mama You left home this morning, sun was shining bright Mama that?s why that I?m asking you, where did you stay last night Run here mama, run here mama, tell me what you gwine to do, pretty mama Run here mama, tell me what you gwine to do You said you gotta give me some money, yes and some loving too My car needs crankin?, my car needs crankin?, ain?t got no gasoline pretty mama My car needs crankin?, ain?t got no gasoline Just as soon as I get my money, I will be (soon unseen?) Hi Suzy,
I think it is "I will be seldom seen". I've heard that line sung elsewhere, too. All best, Johnm Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out Big Bill's "Too Too Train Blues". This is what I've got. Any corrections are welcome. Thanks. Pan. Too Too Train Blues -Big Bill Broonzy Lord, my baby leaving this morning, Gwine catch that Too Too Train. Said my baby leaving this morning, Gwine catch that Too Too Train. Lord when she got on board, She almost addled my brain. Oh Lord, I hear that whistle blow. Oh baby, I hear that whistle blow. Said she blow just like, She ain?t gonna blow no more. Solo Said that Too Too Train is coming. Lord I?m goin? get on board. Babe, that Too Too Train is coming. Lord I?m goin? get on board. And what I?ve got on my mind, No one in this world does know. . Down in trouble, been blue as I can be. Down in trouble, been blue as I can be. I get there feeling lonesome, Thinking the way you treated me. Edited as kindly suggested by Banjochris. You pretty much have it, Pan. A few corrections/suggestions:
That YouTube video sounds like the speed is a hair off, on the slow side. Last half of the last line of verse 1 is: She almost addled my brain Last half of the last line of verse 3 is: No one in this world does know First and second lines of verse 4 are Down in trouble and finally I get there feeling lonesome.
