Bessie Smith Boweavil Blues Lyrics

Boweavil Blues Lyrics

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
