Boll Weevil Song

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-wop)

Well, the first time 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-wop, doo-doo-wop-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

(Doo-doo-wop-wop)

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 a-mighty cool and nice"

This will be my home, this will be my home

(Doo-doo-wop-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-wop, doo-doo-wop-wop-wop

Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop, doo-doo-wop-wop-wop

Doo-doo-wop-wop-wop)
