Laika - Bedbugs Lyrics

It’s gonna Swallow me whole The ground’ll open up And in I’ll 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 It’s gonna Follow me home Somewhere in the shadows there’s a place for me In the cold cold ground Trouble’s right behind me There’s hard times ahead The devil’s got his hammer He’s poundin’ on my bed Lost most my money I’m on my last hand I’m knockin’ at hell’s door with no weapon and no plan Feelin’ kinda timid like an egg without a shell But if I’ve been just bluffing I ain’t gonna tell It’s gonna Swallow me whole The ground’ll open up And in I’ll 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 Sky’s full of lightening The wind’s spitting sand Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan The fish have all stopped jumping The bedbugs are asleep I’ll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep I wish I had a needle As fine as I could sew I’d stitch my baby to my side and down the road we’d 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 Laika Lyrics Bedbugs Lyrics
