Lyrics New Bumble Bee Blues - Memphis Minnie

New Bumble Bee Blues

I got a bumble bee, don’t sting nobody but me
I got a bumble bee, don’t sting nobody but me
And I tell the world, he got all the stinger2 I need
And he makes better honey, any bumble bee I ever seen
And he makes better honey, any bumble bee I ever seen
And when he makes it, oh, how he makes me scream
He gets to flying and buzzing, stinging everybody he meets
He gets to flying and buzzing, stinging everybody he meets
Lord, I wonder why my bumble bee want to mistreat me
Hmmmm, where my bumble bee gone?
Hmmmm, wonder where’s my bumble bee gone?
I been looking for him, my bumble bee, so long, so long
My bumble bee got ways, just like a natural man
My bumble bee got ways, just like a natural man
He’s stinging somebody, everywhere he lands
