Boil Weevil |
Well, the Boll Weevil and the little black bug |
Come from a Mexico they say |
Came all the way to Texas |
Just a lookin' for a place to stay |
Just a lookin' for a home |
Just a lookin' for a home |
(Doo, doo, wop, wop) |
Well, the first time that I seen the Boll Weevil |
He was a-sittin' on the square |
Well, the next time that I seen him |
He had his a family there |
Just a lookin' for a home |
Just a lookin' for a home |
(Doo, doo, wop, wop) |
Well, the farmer took the Boll Weevil |
And he put him on the red hot sand |
Well, the Weevil said, «This is a mighty hot |
But I take it like a man |
This will be my home, this will be my home» |
Well, the farmer took the Boll Weevil |
And he put him on a keg of ice |
Well, the Weevil said to the farmer |
«This is mighty cool and nice |
This will be my home, this will be my home» |
(Doo, doo, wop, wop) |
Well, if anybody should ask you |
Who it was who sang this song? |
Say a guitar picker from a Oklahoma city |
With a pair of blue jeans on |
Just a-lookin' for a home |
Just a-lookin' for a home |
(Doo-doo-wop-wop) |
