Lonnie Johnson - Mean Old Bedbug Blues (1927) lyrics

Your rating:

Man, a bedbug sure is evil, he don't mean me no good. 

Man, a bedbug sure is evil, he don't mean me no good. 

He thinks I'm a woodpecker, and he takes me for a chunk of wood. 



When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a po' man sleep.

When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a po' man sleep.

When some holdin' your hands, while the other ones eat your feet. 



Bedbugs big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin. 

Bedbugs big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin. 

And drink up all the bedbug poison, then come back and bite you again. 



Something was moanin' in a corner, I tried my best to see.

Something was moaning in a corner, then I walked over to see. 

It was the mother bedbug prayin' to the good Lord, for some mo' to eat."



I have to set up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor. 

I have to set up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor.

‘Cause the mean old bedbug told me, that I can't sleep there no more.
