Chinch Bug Blues Lyrics
Chinch Bug Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson
Written by：Blind Lemon Jefferson
I never did feel uneasy
I know how you left
Your tricks
I never did feel uneasy
I know how you left
Your tricks
You leave town today
And it's ten days you've got
Your business well fixed
I wonder if the chinches bite in beaumont
Oh like
They do in beale street town
I wonder if chinches bite in beaumont like they do
In beale street town
The first night I stayed in memphis chinch bugs turned
My bed around
I had to get 'ceitful with the bedbugs to keep
The chinches from takin' my life
I had to get 'ceitful with the bedbugs to keep
The chinches from takin' my life
Because the chinches got my number wrote three letters to
My wife
My wife caught me easin' way across that rich gal's
I said my wife caught me easin' way across that
Rich gal's room
The next time I go to slip out ain't
Gonna leave on the light anymore
My wife has quit me and my rich pigmeat gal
Is too
I say my wife has quit me and my rich
Pigmeat gal is too
Oh lord I'm lyin' in this cold bed alone scared
With the chinch bug blues
