Boweavil Blues

Hey boweavil don't bring them blues no more Hey boweavil don't bring 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
