Mosquito Moan Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Now, I′m sittin' in my kitchen, mosquitoes all around my screen
Now, I′m sittin' in my kitchen, mosquitoes all around my screen
If I don't arrange to get a mosquito bomb, I′ll be seldom seen

I′m gon' sleep under a tin tub, try my best to brad their bill
I believe I′ll sleep under a tin tub, try my best to brad their bill
Well, mosquitoes so bad in this man's town, keep me away from my whiskey still


I love my whiskey better than some people likes to eat
I say I love my whiskey better than some people likes to eat
Mosquitoes botherin′ me so, I can't hardly stay on my feet

I bought a spray last night, and I sprayed all over my house
I bought a spray last night and I sprayed all over my house
Mosquitoes all around my door, won′t leave nobody come out

Mosquitoes all around me, mosquitoes are everywhere I go
Mosquitoes all around me, mosquitoes everywhere I go
No matter where I go, well, they sticks their bill in me

I would say a gabbernipper, these gabbernippers bites too hard
I would say a gabbernipper, some gabbernippers bites too hard
I've stepped back in my kitchen, and they're springin′ up in my back yard
