Chinch Bug Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never feel uneasy : I know how you love your tricks
You leave town the spate of ten days : you got your business well fixed
I wonder if the chinches bite in Beaumont : bite like they do in Beale Street town
The first night I stayed in Memphis : chinch bugs turned my bed around
I had to get sinful with the bedbugs : to keep the chinches from taking my life
Because the chinches got my number : wrote a letter to my wife
My wife caught me easing : way across that Richland Road
The next time I go to slip out : I ain't going to leave on the light anymore
My wife has quit me : and my best pigmeat gal has too
All of ??? *Lord* : here with the chinch bug blues
