Bessie Smith
boweavil blues
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 men's 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
