Bo Weevil and my little
black buck
come from Mexico, then what?
Come all the way from Texas
just looking for a place to rock.
He had to rock Bo Weevil, rock
Bo Weevil, rock
Bo Weevil had to rock.
Lost my cotton crop, lost my cotton crop,
cause that Weevil had to rock.
First time I saw the boll weevil,
he was sitting in the square
Next time I saw the boll weevil,
had his rockin' family there
Had to rock boll weevil,
rock boll weevil,
rock boll weevil
Had to rock
Lost my cotton crop,
lost my cotton crop
Cause that weevil had to rock
The captain say to his missus,
now what do you think of that?
Bo Weevil done rock and rollin'
my best Sunday hat
He had to rock Bo Weevil, rock
Bo Weevil, rock Bo Weevil
Had to rock,
go on, rock Bo Weevil
Farmer take the poor Weevil,
he put him in a cake of ice
Weevil say this is mighty freeze,
but I'll rock you cool and nice
He had to rock old Weevil,
rock old Weevil, rock old
Weevil had to rock
Lost my cotton crop,
lost my cotton crop
Cause that Weevil had to run
Last time I saw the Bo Weevil
He was heading for outer space
Said I'm gonna catch a satellite
And rock all over the place
He had to rock Bo Weevil
Rock Bo Weevil, rock Bo Weevil
Had to run
Rock one out of here, Bo Weevil
Ate up my cotton crop
You go on back to Mexico, you hear
Get out of here, Bo Weevil
