Boweavil Blues Songtext
von 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
