Well the boll weevil and the little black bug |
|
Come from a-Mexico they say |
|
Came all the way to Texas |
|
Just a-lookin' for a place to stay |
|
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home |
|
(Doo-doo-wop-wop) |
|
Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil |
|
He was a-sittin' on the square |
|
Well the next time that I seen him |
|
He had his a-family there |
|
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home |
|
(Doo-doo-wop-wop) |
|
Well the farmer took the boll weevil |
|
And he put him on the red hot sand |
|
Well the weevil said this is a-mighty hot |
|
But I take it like a man |
|
This will be my home, this will be my home |
|
Well the farmer took the boll weevil |
|
And he put him on a keg of ice |
|
Well the weevil said to the farmer |
|
This is mighty cool and nice |
|
This will be my home, this will be my home |
|
(Doo-doo-wop-wop) |
|
Well if anybody should ask you |
|
Who it was who sang this song |
|
Say a guitar picker from a-Oklahoma city |
|
With a pair of blue jeans on |
|
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home |
|
(Doo-doo-wop-wop) |
