Competition Bed Blues

Competition Bed Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Written by：Blind Lemon Jefferson

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 passed my partner's house

I stopped in to comb my head

I passed 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
