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
