Let me tell you a story
about a boll weevil.
Now some of you may not know,
but a boll weevil is an insect.
And it's found mostly
where cotton grows.
Now, where they come from,
nobody really knows,
but this is the way the story goes.
The farmer said to the boll weevil,
I see you're on the square.
Bo Weevil said to the farmer,
say, yep, my whole darn family's here,
we gotta have a hog.
Gotta have a hog.
The farmer said to the Bo Weevil,
say, why'd you pick my farm?
The Weevil just laughed at the farmer
and said, we ain't gonna
do you much hog.
We're looking for a home
In the bowl we will spot him a lightning bug
He said, hey I'd like to make
a trade with you
Cause you see if I was a lightning bug
I'd search the whole night through
Searching for a home
I'd have me plenty of homes
And the bull weaver called the farmer
and said you better sell your
old machines
because when I'm through
with your cotton
you can't even buy gasoline.
I'm going to take me home,
gotta have a home.
And the boll weevil said to the farmer,
said farmer,
I'd like to wish you well.
The farmer said to the boll weevil,
yeah, I wish that you went
lookin' for a home.
Lookin' for a home.
You'll have a home alright,
you'll have a home,
a real hot home,
oh, you'll have a home.
