Boweavil Blues - Original |
| Hey boweavil, don’t sing them blues no more |
| Hey boweavil, don’t sing 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 |
