Memphis Minnie — Dirt Dauber Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Everybody worrying me, want to know why I’m so crazy about dirt dauber tea
Everybody worrying me, want to know why I’m so crazy about dirt dauber tea
Because when I was young, they built their nest on me Now everybody tells me I need a doctor, I need someone to stay here with me But I don’t need nothing but that dirt dauber tea
Because when I was young, they built their nest on me Hmmmmm, hmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmm, hmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmm, hmmmmmmmm
And out of all that I crave, all that I seen
I don’t want nothing but that dirt dauber tea
Because when I was young, they built their nest on me When I was down sick in my bed, blind, couldn’t hardly see
That dirt dauber flew down in my bed and built his nest on me That’s why I say, «I'm crazy about that dirt dauber tea»
Ahw, dirt dauber’s a builder
Ahw, dirt dauber’s a builder
Dirt dauber is a builder, he built his nest on me That why I say, «I'm crazy about the dirt dauber tea»
