Hey, hey, bo-weevil, don't sing them blues no more Hey, hey, bo-weevil, don't sing them blues no more Bo-weevil here, bo-weevils everywhere you go I'm a lone bo-weevil, been out a great long time I'm a lone bo-weevil, been out a great long time I'm gonna sing these blues to ease a bo-weevil lonesome mind 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's so evil, I'm afraid they might poison me I went downtown and bought me a hat I brought it back home, I laid it on the shelf And looked at my bed I'm getting tired of sleeping by myself
