Lyrics:
O, de Boll Weevil am a little black bug Come from Mexico dey say Come all the way to Texas Just a-lookin' foh a place to stay Jus´ a lookin' foh a home Jus´ a lookin' foh a home Foh de first time I seen de boll weevil He was a settin' on de square De next time I seen de boll weevil He had all of his family dere Jus´a lookin´foh a home Jus´a- lookin´foh a home Well the farmer take the boll weevil And he put him in de hot old san´ De boll weevil say Dis is mighty hot but I´ll stan´it like a man Dis´ll be my home Dis´ll be my home De farmer take de boll weevil An´ he put him in a lump of ice De weevil say to de farmer Dis is mighty cool and nice Dis´ll be my home Dis´ll be my home Oh have you heard the latest De latest of de songs It´s about dem little Boll Weevils Dey´s picked up bofe feet an´gone Jus´a lookin´foh a home Jus´a lookin´foh a home |
