Mean Old Bed Bug Blues

Mean Old Bed Bug Blues - Bessie Smith

Gals bed bugs sure is evil

They don't mean me no good

Yeah bed bug sure is evil

They don't mean me no good

Thinks he's a woodpecker

And I'm a chunk of wood

When I lay down at night

I wonder how can a poor gal sleep

When I lay down at nigh

T I wonder how can a poor gal sleep

When some is holding my hand

Others eating my feet

Bed bug as big as a jackass1 will bite you

And stand and grin

Bed bug as big as a jackass will bite you

And stand and grin

Will drink all the bed bur for them turn around

And bite you again

Something moan in the corner

I went over and see

Something moan in the corner

I went over and see

It was the bed bug a prayin' Lord

Gimme some more cheese
