Boll Weevil (Rerecorded) |
| 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 |
| 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 |
