Bedbugs

Its gonna

Swallow me whole

The groundll open up

And in Ill fall

Down down down

Mama set me up with a fine young thing

And he was gonna buy me everything

But he grabbed the hook

And took out for deep water

And pretty soon that fish

He pulled me in

Its gonna

Follow me home

Somewhere in the shadows theres a place for me

In the cold cold ground

Troubles right behind me

Theres hard times ahead

The devils got his hammer

Hes poundin on my bed

Lost most my money

Im on my last hand

Im knockin at hells door with no weapon and no plan

Feelin kinda timid like an egg without a shell

But if Ive been just bluffing

I aint gonna tell

Its gonna

Swallow me whole

The groundll open up

And in Ill fall

Papa set me up

With a sharp-eyed boy

And I was gonna have him

For my toy

But he stole my heart

And took out for deep water

And pretty soon that shark

He pulled me in

Skys full of lightening

The winds spitting sand

Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan

The fish have all stopped jumping

The bedbugs are asleep

Ill lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep

I wish I had a needle

As fine as I could sew

Id stitch my baby to my side and down the road wed go

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

My shovel struck sorrow

And the tears came running down

Little fishes in the brook

Papa catch them with a hook

Brother clean it like a man

Mama fry it in the pan
