New Bow-Weawil Blues Songtext
von Ma Rainey

Hey, boll weevil, Don′t sing them blues no more, Hey, hey, boll weevil, Don't sing them blues no more, Boll weevil′s here, boll weevil's everywhere you go. I'm a lone boll weevil, Been out a good long time, I′m a lone boll weevil, Been out a good long time, I′m gonna sing this tune to ease a boll weevil's 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 are so evil, I′m 'fraid they might poison me. I went downtown, I bought me a hat, I brought it back home, I laid it on the shelf, Looked at my bed, I′m gettin' tired of sleeping by myself.
