Hey boweavil don't bring them blues no more
   Hey boweavil don't bring them blues no more
   Boweavil's here, boweavil's everywhere you go
   I'm a lone boweavil, been out a great long time
   I'm a lone boweavil, been out a great long time
   For to sing this song, to ease boweavil's troublin' mind
   I don't want no sugar put into my tea
   I don't want no sugar put into my tea
   The mens are so evil, I'm scared they might poison me
   I went downtown
   I bought myself a hat
   I brought it back home
   I laid it on the shelf
   I looked in my bedroom
   Tired sleepin' by myself
   I'm tired sleepin' by myself
