Ma Rainey — Bo-Weavil Blues

[Verse 1] Hey, bo-weavil, don't sing the blues no more Hey, hey, bo-weavil, don't sing the blues no more Bo-weavil's here, bo-weavil's everywhere you go [Verse 2] I'm a lone bo-weavil, been out a great long time I'm a lone bo-weavil, been out a great long time I'm gonna sing these blues to ease the bo-weavil's lonesome mind [Verse 3] I don't want no man to put no sugar in my tea I don't want no man to put no sugar in my tea Some of them so evil, I'm 'fraid they might poison me [Verse 4] I went downtown and bought me a hat I brought it back home, I laid it on the shelf Looked at my bed, I'm gettin' tired of sleeping by myself
