BUMBLE BEE BLUES
As recorded by Memphis Minnie, 1930.

Bumble bee, bumble bee, won't you please come back to me? (2x)
He got the best ol' stinger any bumble bee I ever seen.

He stung me this mornin'; I been lookin' for him all day long. (2x)
He had me to the place once, I hate to see my bumble bee leave home.

I can't standing(?) him, buzz, buzz, buzz.
Come in, bumble bee; I want you to stop your fuss.
You're my bumble bee, and you know your stuff.
Oh, sting me, bumble bee until I get enough.

Mmm, stinger long as my right arm. (2x)
He stung me this mornin'; I been lookin' for him all day long.

Sometimes he makes me happy, then sometimes he makes me cry. (2x)
He had me to the place once, I wished to God that I could die.
