BUGS
As recorded by Bobbie Gentry
(From the 1967 Album ODE TO BILLIE JOE)
[Intro]
E7
[Verse 1]
E7 Bm7
Got a pollywog in your water
E7 Bm7
A tadpole in the moonshine vat
E7 D7
An' granddaddy-long-leg climbin' on the screen
C7 B7 E7
You better watch, you're gonna squash him flat
[Verse 2]
E7 Bm7
Boll weevils in your cotton
E7 Bm7
An' dirt dauber busy buildin' a nest
E7 D7
The red wasp's gonna swoop down and get ya, child
C7 B7 E7
Won't give you a minute's rest
[Chorus]
E7
(She's talkin 'bout)
A7
Bugs! Everywhere you look there's another kind of bug
E7
Makes you want to get a club and clout 'em
A7
Yes, everybody talks about the worrisome bug
C7 B7 E7
But ain't nobody doin' nothin' about 'em
[Verse 3]
E7
Shooin' the flies away from the table
Bm7
Hidin' under the quiltin' bed
E7 D7
The chiggers runnin' wild in the blackberry bush
C7 B7 E7
Yellow jackets swarmin' 'round your head
[Verse 4]
E7 Bm7
They're comin' to get your watermelon
