Mean Old Bedbug Blues Lyrics

Mean old bedbug sho' is evil, he don't mean me no good

Mean old bedbug
sho' is evil, he don't mean me no good

He thinks I'm a woodpecker and he
takes me for a chunk o' wood



When I lay down at night I wonder how
can a poor man sleep

When I lay down at night I wonder how can a poor man
sleep

With one hole in your head while the other one in your feet



Bedbug's big as a jackass, he will bite you, stand and grin

Bedbug's big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin

Drink a
bowl of bedbug poison, come back and bite you again



Saw one morn'
in a corner, Lord I tried so hard to see

Saw one morn' in a corner, Lord
I tried so hard to see

It was a mother bedbug Lord, prayin' for some oat
to eat



I had to sit up all night long, my feet can't touch the
floor

I had to sit up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor

Cause the mean old bedbug told me I can't live there no more
