Creeper's Blues Lyrics

Furry Lewis Creeper's Blues

I woke up this morning : and I looked up against the wall
Roaches and the bedbugs : playing a game of ball

Score was twenty to nothing : the roaches was ahead
Roaches got to fighting : and kicked me out of bed

Bedbugs so bad : pull the pillow from under my head
They got a Winchester rifle : and try to kill me dead

When I woke up this morning : I looked down on the floor
Bedbug had been in my pocket : and pulled out all my
dough

Mama get your hatchet : kill the fly on your baby's head
Mama get your hatchet : and run here to my bed

Please bedbugs : please I done begged you twice
You done taken all my money : and now you want to take my
life
