Mosquito Moan by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1930

[Verse 1]
Now, I'm sittin' in my kitchen, mosquitoes all around my screen
Now, I'm sittin' in my kitchen, mosquitoes all around my screen
If I don't arrange to get a mosquito bomb, I'll be seldom seen

[Verse 2]
I'm gon' sleep under a tin tub, try my best to brad their bill
I believe I'll sleep under a tin tub, try my best to brad their bill
Well, mosquitoes so bad in this man's town, keep me away from my whiskey still

[Verse 3]
I love my whiskey better than some people likes to eat
I say I love my whiskey better than some people likes to eat
Mosquitoes botherin' me so, I can't hardly stay on my feet

[Verse 4]
I bought a spray last night 'n I sprayed all over my house
I bought a spray last night 'n I sprayed all over my house
Mosquitoes all around my door won't let nobody come out

[Verse 5]
Mosquitoes all around me, mosquitoes everywhere I go
Mosquitoes all around me, mosquitoes everywhere I go
No matter where I go, they sticks their bills in me
[Verse 6]
I would say gallinipper, these gallinippers bites too hard
I would say gallinipper, these gallinippers bites too hard
I stepped back in my kitchen and they springing up in my back yard
