Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl (11-20-31) - Bessie Smith

Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue

I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to Seem like the whole world’s wrong

Since my man’s been gone

I need a little sugar in my bowl

I need a little hot dog on my roll

I can stand a bit of lovin', oh so bad

I feel so funny, I feel so sad

I need a little steam-heat on my floor

Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go What’s the matter hard papa

Come on and save your mama’s soul

'Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it I need a some sugar in my bowl

I need a little sugar in my bowl

I need a little hot dog between my rolls

You gettin' different, I’ve been told

Move your finger, drop something in my bowl

I need a little steam-heat on my floor

Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go Get off your knees, I can’t see what you’re drivin' at It’s dark down there looks like a snake!

C’mon here and drop somethin' here in my bowl

Stop your foolin' and drop somethin' in my bowl
