Ballad of the Boll Weevil - Take 10; Remastered Version

First saw old boll weevil, he was in the air
 Next time I saw that boll weevil, he was stickin' on a cotton square
 He found him a home, had to have a home
 Farmer said to the boll weevil, "What you doin' on my farm?"
 Boll weevil said to the farmer, "I ain't gon' do you much harm
 I'm a-lookin' for a home, I'm got to have a home"
 Farmers all got together, said, "Let's poison our crops
 We don't stop that boll weevil, he'll eat up everything we got
 He's lookin' for a home, done found him a home"
 Then they decided to take him, stick him in some ice
 Stayed in the ice twenty-four hours, come out lookin' very nice
 He had him a home, had a cool home
 Then they decided to catch him, stick him in the sand
 Stayed there thirty long hours, he stood it like a natch'l man
 He had a home, he had a hot home
 Farmers all decided, wonderin' what to do
 "You done et up all our cotton crop, goin' in the corn patch, too
 Done found a home, done found him a home"
 Now the boll weevil said to the farmer, "I'm your bosom friend
 I caused you to get four cents on every
 bale of cotton that you take to the gin
 I got a home, I done found me a home"
