Mississippi Boweevil Blues Lyrics - Gomez

He sees a little boweevil 

Sees him movin' in the, Lordie, yeah 

Well, you can plant your cotton 

But you won't get a half a bale, mama, yeah 

Boweevil, boweevil 

Where's your native home, mama, yeah? 

Boweevil, boweevil 

Where's your native home, mama, yeah? 

The next time I seen him, Lord 

He had his family there, mama, yeah 

He sucks all your blossom and leaves 

Your hedges square, mama, yeah 

Boweevil, boweevil 

Won't you treat me fair, mama, yeah? 

Boweevil, boweevil 

Got a one way ticket there, mama, yeah 

Goin' down next year 

Gonna give Karachi hell, mama, yeah 

Well, you can cage them all in 

But his friends are everywhere, Lordie, yeah 

Keep movin', keep movin' 

Boweevil is already there, mama, yeah 

Next time he's here 

Rent a package in Leicester Square, mama, yeah 

Join me in good living 

And where has it been goin', mama, yeah 

Start wheezing, stop breathing 

And where's this powder from, mama, yeah 

Go faster, go faster 

Man'll beat him a hundred fold, mama, yeah
