Boll Weevil

The boll weevil am a little black bug
 Come from Mexico they say
 Came all the way from Texas
 Lookin' for a place to stay
 (Just lookin' for a home)
 Just lookin' for a home.
 The first time I seen a boll weevil
 He was sittin' on a square
 The next time I see a boll weevil
 He had his whole darn family there
 (Just lookin' for a home)
 Just lookin' for a home.
 --- Instrumental ---
 The farmer took the boll weevil
 And he throwed him in the red hot sand
 The boll weevil told the farmer
 I'll stand it like a man.
 (This'll be my home)
 This'll be my home.
 The boll weevil took the cotton
 The merchant took the rest
 All that's left for the farmer's wife
 Is one old torn up dress.?
 (It's full of holes)
 It's full of holes.
 If any one should ask you
 Who it was who lerarned you this song
 It was just an old farmer they called old willie
 Now that old fellow's gone
 (He found a home)
 He found a home.
 (He found a home.)
 (He found a home.)
 (He found a home.)
 (He found a home.)
 (He found a home...)
