Well, the Bull Weevil is a little black bug
come from Mexico, they say.
Well, he come all the way to Texas,
he was looking for a place to stay.
Just looking for a home,
he was looking for a home.
He was looking for a home,
looking for a home.
He was lookin' for a home,
well, lookin' for a home
Well, the first time I seen the boll weevil
He was sittin' on the square
And the next time I seen the boll weevil
He had his whole damn family there
They were lookin' for a home,
just lookin' for a home
They were lookin' for a home,
oh lookin' for a home
They were lookin' for a home,
well lookin' for a home
Then the farmer took the boll weevil
Put him in the hot sand
And the boll weevil said to the farmer
Well you're treatin' me like a man
And it'll be my home, I'll have a home,
I'll have a home, I'll have a home,
I'll have a home, it'll be my home.
Then the farmer took the boll weevil,
put him on the ice,
And the boll weevil said to the farmer,
well it's mighty cool and nice,
it'll be my home, it'll be my home,
it'll be my home, it'll be my home,
it'll be my home, it'll be my home.
Well, farmer said to his wife, honey,
what do you think about that?
The old boll weevil done made a nest in
my brand -new Stetson hat,
an d it's full of holes, it's full of holes, it's full of holes,
oh, full of holes, it's full of holes, it's full home.
Oh, the boll weevil

Well, he come all the way to Texas
just a -looking for a place to stay.
He was looking for a home,
just a -looking for a home.
