Bo Weavil Blues Songtext
von Ma Rainey

Hey, hey, bo-weevil, don′t sing them blues no more
Hey, hey, bo-weevil, don't sing them blues no more
Bo-weevil here, bo-weevils everywhere you go

I′m a lone bo-weevil, been out a great long time
I'm a lone bo-weevil, been out a great long time
I'm gonna sing these blues to ease a bo-weevil lonesome mind


I don′t want no man to put no sugar in my tea
I don′t want no man to put no sugar in my tea
Some of them's so evil, I′m afraid they might poison me

I went downtown and bought me a hat
I brought it back home, I laid it on the shelf
And looked at my bed
I'm getting tired of sleeping by myself
