4 O'Clock Blues |
| No gypsy woman, no gypsy woman can’t fry no meat for me, lordy mama |
| No gypsy woman can’t fry no meat for me |
| I ain’t scared, I’m skittish she might poison me |
| 'Cause I woke up this morning, woke up this morning |
| Heard somebody callin' me, lordy mama |
| Woke up this morning, heard somebody callin' me |
| Must’ve been a weevil, thing they call the stingaree |
| A bo' weevil’s here, a bo' weevil’s there |
| Each and mama’s everywhere, the preachers tell me that |
| Bo' weevil’s here, bo' weevil’s everywhere |
| I dreamt a dream last night, it was all in your flour there |
| The farmer went to the merchant, said, «I want meat and meal,» lordy mama |
| Farmer went to the merchant, says, «I wants meat and meal» |
| The merchant screamed, «No, no, the bo' weevil’s in your field» |
| Bitin' spider, bitin' spider, crawlin' on the wall |
| Bitin' spider now, crawlin' on the wall |
| Grinds it nat’ral but he’s crazy 'bout his alcohol |
| I heard a mighty rumblin' down under the ground, lordy mama |
| Mighty rumblin' way down under the ground |
| The boll weevil and the devil was thievin' with somebody’s brown |
| Said he was low and squatty, said he was cut to speed, lordy mama |
| He’s low and squatty, said he was cut to speed |
| Says he has everything that a poor bo' weevil needs |
| Now bo' weevil, now bo' weevil, sittin' down on the square, the first time I |
| seen |
| Mister Bo' Weevil, sittin' down on the square |
| Next time I seen him, mama, he had his whole family there |
| Bo' weevil told that farmer, «Buy no Ford machine,» lordy mama |
| He told the farmer not to buy no Ford machine |
| 'Cause he’s gonna fix it so he can’t buy no gasoline |
