Mistreatin' Mama-Tommy Johnson/Furry Lewis

Mean Old Bedbug Blues - Furry Lewis 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 of 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 Praying 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 that I can't live there no more
