Ma Rainey — Bo Weavil Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Hey boll weevil: don’t sing the blues no more
Boll weevil’s here: boll weevil’s everywhere you go
I’m a lone boll weevil: been out a great long time
I’m going to tell you people: the evil boll weevil loves
I don’t want no man: to put no sugar in my tea
That bug is so evil: I’m afraid it might poison me
