On Saturday night Where I was born Down on the farm Guitar plinking And we started drinking Til the break of dawn About twelve o'clock Everything get hot Up steps old John We started clapping And he started singing This sweet little country song Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil Where've you been all day Yo mama been looking Had to stop cooking Since you went away Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil Why did you go and stay You get a licking As sure as I'm seated On this bale of hay Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil Where've you been all day Mama been looking Had to stop cooking Since you went away Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil Why did you go and stay You get a licking As sure as I'm seated On this bale of hay
