The Boll Weevil Song

Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil Now, some of you may not know, but a boll weevil is an insect And he's found mostly where cotton grows Now, where he comes from, hmm, nobody really knows But this is the way the story goes The farmer said to the boll weevil "I see you're on the square" Boll weevil said to the farmer "Say yep! My whole darn family's here" We gotta have a home Gotta have a home The farmer said to the boll weevil "Say, why'd you pick my farm?" The weevil just laughed at the farmer and said Said, "We ain't gonna do ya much harm" "We're looking for a home" And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug He said "Hey, I'd like to make a trade with you But you see, if I was a lightning bug I'd search the whole night through" Just searchin' for a home I'd have me plenty of homes And the boll weevil called the farmer and he said "You better sell your old machines 'Cause when I'm through with your cotton, heh You can't even buy gasoline." I'm gonna stake me a home Gotta have a home And the boll weevil said to the farmer Said, "Farmer, I'd like to wish you well." Farmer said to the boll weevil "Yeah, an' I wish that you were in..." Lookin' for a home Lookin' for a home Ahh, you have a home, all right You'll have a home A real hot home
