Thanks for the help, Blues Vintage. I re-listened and made the corrections you suggested, including the session date.

2.3 Well (it) -they- (makes) make me so mad, 'cause I can't roll jelly like I used to do
3.3 homeworks instead of homework
Just double checked, I think Document Records has the wrong date (Sept. 25, 1947)
Fancourt & McGrath and Wirz have October 22, 1946. Which is what I had listed for the video.
Edited to add; JSP has October 23, 1946. I trust the october 22 date more because of those two sources.

Thanks for the help, Chris. I have heard of click beetles but didn't think of them in this context. It makes sense and fits the sound.

Hi all,
Rich Trice recorded "Lazy Bug Blues" at a session in New York on October 22, 1946, accompanying himself out of E position in standard tuning. The record was released as being by "Little Boy Fuller". I'd very much appreciate help with the bent bracketed word in verse one and anything else I have wrong. I believe that in the later years of his life Rich Trice became a preacher and would only perform religious songs. Thanks to Blues Vintage for creating the video for the Weenie Campbell YouTube channel. Here is "Lazy Bug Blues":
INTRO SOLO
I'm a lazy tappin' bug, mama, lazy bug you ever seen
I'm a lazy tappin' bug, the laziest bug you ever seen
All the women crazy 'bout me 'cause I'm so doggone mean
When you get low-down and lazy and the women turn thei' back on you
When you get low-down and lazy and the women turn thei' back on you
Well they make me so mad, 'cause I can't roll jelly like I used to do
I done got so old 'til the strength gone outa my bone
I done got so lazy 'til the strength gone outa my bone
I done got so lazy 'til I can't carry my homeworks on
SOLO (Spoken: Play it then!)
Say when you get old and feeble and you ain't got a dime
When you get old and feeble and sure ain't got a dime
Say and your woman don't love you, just have to go down and cry
CODA
Edited 4/15 to pick up corrections from Blues Vintage
All best,
Johnm

I had the pleasure of interviewing Phil a few years back. The shows were inspired by the book Sweet Bitter Blues: Washington DC’s Homemade Blues by Frank Matheis and Phil Wiggins. Washington DC Blues Pt. 1: https://sundayblues.org/?p=20471Washington DC Blues Pt. 2: https://sundayblues.org/?p=20469

Hi all,
I was just reading through this thread again and thought I'd see if the Dillard Chandler version was up on YouTube. Surprise--it was! Here it is:
All best,

I posted this vid on Weenie years ago, I think under the circumstances it's worth re-posting, it really shows Phil's brilliance as a musician.
