Blind Lemon Jefferson - Competition Bed Blues lyrics

Version 1, (20749-2) July 1928 Competition worryin' me, I don't even know what competition mean Competition worryin' me, do you realize what competition mean? It pops up at every man's door and it worries him in his midnight dream I had a lovin' brown, I didn't never mean to do her wrong I had a lovin' brown, I didn't never mean to do her wrong My partner's so full of competition, he's got my gal and gone I pa**ed my partner's house, I stopped in to comb my head I pa**ed my partner's house, I stopped in to comb my head Who should I find, but my brown makin' up my partner's bed Almost wrecked my mind, competition's goin' between me and my friend Almost wrecked my mind, competition's goin' between me and my friend It hurts me so, I thought we'd be pals 'til the end It makes a man feel bad for his partner to turn him down It makes a man feel bad for his partner to throw him down Now it's so much competition, I believe I'll leave this town Version 2, (21132-1) January 1929 Competition worryin' me, do you realize what competition mean? Competition worryin' me, and do you realize what competition mean? Pops up at every man's door and it worries him in his midnight dream I had a lovin' brown, I didn't mean to do her wrong Had a lovin' brown, I didn't mean to do her wrong My partner's so full of competition, he got my good gal and gone I found my partner's house, I stopped in to comb my head I stopped in my partner's house, stopped in to comb my head Who did I find, but my darlin' makin' up my partner's bed It almost wrecked my mind, competition's goin' between me and my friend I say it almost wrecked my mind, competition's goin' between me and my friend It hurts me so, I thought we was gonna be pals until the end It makes a man feel bad for his partner to turn him down Yes it makes a man feel bad for his partner to turn him down Said it's so much competition, I believe I'll leave this town
