[Verse 1]
Hey, bo-weavil, don't sing the blues no more
Hey, hey, bo-weavil, don't sing the blues no more
Bo-weavil's here, bo-weavil's everywhere you go

[Verse 2]
I'm a lone bo-weavil, been out a great long time
I'm a lone bo-weavil, been out a great long time
I'm gon' sing these blues to ease the bo-weavil's lonesome mind

[Verse 3]
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 so evil, I'm 'fraid they might poison me

[Verse 4]
I went downtown and bought me a hat
I brought it back home, I laid it on the shelf
Looked at my bed, I'm gettin' tired of sleeping by myself
