Boll Weevil
Oh, the boll weevil am a little black bug Come from Mexico, they say, uh huh Come all the way to Texas Lookin' for a place to stay Jus' a-lookin' for a home Jus' a-lookin' for a home
Now the first time I see the boll weevil He's a sittin' on the square Next time I see the boll weevil Got all o' his family there Jus' a-lookin' for a home Jus' a-lookin' for a home
The farmer say to the weevil 'What make your head so red?' Weevil say to the farmer 'It's a wonder I ain't dead Lookin' for a home, boss Jus' a-Iookin' for a home'
The farmer take the weevil Put him in the red hot fire Weevil say to the farmer 'Hey, ah ah; hey ah ah' It'll be my home, yessir Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It'll be my home'
The cap'n say to the missus 'What do you think of that? Boll weevil done made a nest In my best Sunday hat' Gonna have a home Gonna have a home
The boll weevil got half the cotton The merchant got the rest Didn't leave the farmer's wife But one old cotton dress And it full o' holes It a-full o' holes
Now if anybody should ax ya Who it was that a-made this song Tell 'em to the dark complected fella With a pair o' blue duckins on Ain't got no home, no sir Ain' t a-got no home Po' boy
