Mississippi Boweevil Blues |
| Sees a little boll weevil keeps movin' in the, Lordie! |
| You can plant your cotton and you won’t get a half a bale, Lordie |
| Bo weevil, bo weevil, where’s your native home? |
| Lordie |
| «A-Louisiana raised in Texas, least is where I was bred and born», Lordie |
| Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord, a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordie |
| The next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordie |
| Bo weevil left Texas, Lord, he bid me «fare ye well», Lordie |
| (spoken: Where you goin' now?) |
| I’m goin' down the Mississippi, gonna give Louisiana hell, Lordie |
| (spoken: How is that, boy?) |
| Suck all the blossoms and he leave your hedges square, Lordie |
| The next time I seed you, you know you had your family there, Lordie |
| Bo weevil meet his wife, «We can sit down on the hill», Lordie |
| Bo weevil told his wife, «Let's trade this forty in», Lordie |
| Bo weevil told his wife, says, «I believe I may go North», Lordie |
| (spoken: Hold on, I’m gonna tell all about that) |
| «Let's leave Louisiana, we can go to Arkansas», Lordie |
| Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordie |
| Next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordie |
| Bo weevil told the farmer that «I 'tain't got ticket fare», Lordie |
| Sucks all the blossom and leave your hedges square, Lordie |
| Bo weevil, bo weevil, where your native home? |
| Lordie |
| «Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn», Lordie |
| Bo weevil, bo weevil, «Outta treat me fair», Lordie |
| The next time I did you had your family there, Lordie |
