Bessie Smith - Mean Old Bedbug Blues Lyrics
Gals, bed bugs sure is evil, they don't mean me no goodYeah, bed bug sure is evil, they don't mean me no goodThinks he's a woodpecker and I'm a chunk of woodWhen I lay down at night, I wonder how can a poor gal sleepWhen I lay down at night, I wonder how can a poor gal sleepWhen some is holding my hand, others eating my feetBed bug as big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grinBed bug as big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grinWill drink all the bed bug poison, turn around and bite you againSomething moan in the corner, I went over and seeSomething moan in the corner, I went over and seeIt was the bed bug mother prayin', Lord, gimme some more to eat
