Boweavil Blues - Bessie Smith

Hey boweavil don＇t bring them blues no more

Hey boweavil don＇t bring them blues no more

Boweavil＇s here boweavil＇s everywhere you go

I＇m a lone boweavil been out a great long time

I＇m a lone boweavil been out a great long time

For to sing this song to ease boweavil＇s troublin＇ mind

I don＇t want no sugar put into my tea

I don＇t want no sugar put into my tea

The mens are so evil I＇m scared they might poison me

I went downtown

I bought myself a hat

I brought it back home

I laid it on the shelf

I looked in my bedroom

Tired sleepin＇ by myself

I＇m tired sleepin＇ by myself
