Furry Lewis - Mean Old Bedbug Blues lyrics

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 jacka**, he will bite you, stand and grin Bedbug's big as a jacka**, 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
