I never feel uneasy : I know how you love your tricks
You leave town the spate of ten days : you got your 
business well fixed
I wonder if the chinches bite in Beaumont : bite like 
they do in Beale Street town
The first night I stayed in Memphis : chinch bugs turned 
my bed around
I had to get sinful with the bedbugs : to keep the 
chinches from taking my life
Because the chinches got my number : wrote a letter to my 
wife
My wife caught me easing : way across that Richland Road
The next time I go to slip out : I ain't going to leave 
on the light anymore
My wife has quit me : and my best pigmeat gal has too
All of  *Lord* : here with the chinch bug blues
