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...)
