Mean old bedbug blues


Mean old bedbug sho' is evil, he don't mean me no good
Mean old bedbug sho' is evil, he don't mean me no good
He thinks I'm a woodpecker and he takes me for a chunk o' wood
When I lay down at night I wonder how can a poor man sleep
When I lay down at night I wonder how can a poor man sleep
With one hole in your head while the other one in your feet
Bedbug's big as a jackass, he will bite you, stand and grin
Bedbug's big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin
Drink a bowl of bedbug poison, come back and bite you again
Saw one morn' in a corner, Lord I tried so hard to see
Saw one morn' in a corner, Lord I tried so hard to see
It was a mother bedbug Lord, prayin' for some oat to eat
I had to sit up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor
I had to sit up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor
Cause the mean old bedbug told me I can't live there no more

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Furry Lewis (March 6, 1893 – September 14, 1981) was a country blues guitarist and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee. Considered one of the pioneers of traditional blues from the 1920s, Lewis experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to the folk blues revival of the 1960s, leading to new recordings. His music is characterized by a raw and authentic sound, influenced by the oral tradition of Mississippi Delta blues. Lewis was known for his humorous and often comedic songs that addressed themes such as love, everyday life, and travel adventures. Among his most famous tracks are "I Ain't Gonna Give Up", "Me and My Guitar" and "Black Snake Moan". Lewis collaborated with other blues artists like Son House and Bukka White, contributing to the preservation of the genre's musical tradition.
