Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil
Now, some of you may not know
But a boll weevil is an insect
And he's found mostly where cotton grows
Now, where he comes from, hm, 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
Boll weevil said to the farmer
Say yep, my whole darn family's here
The farmer said to the boll weevil
Say, why do you pick my farm
The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said
We ain't gonna do ya much harm
Ho-o-o-o-o,-o-o-o, -o-o-o, o-o-ome
And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug
He said Hey, I'd like to make a trade with you
But, ya see if I was a lightning bug
I'd search the whole night through
And the boll weevil called the farmer, 'n' he said
Ya better sell your old machines
'Cause when I'm through with your cotton
Heh, you can't even buy gasoline
Stake me a home, gotta have a home
And the boll weevil said to the farmer, said Farmer
I'd like to wish you well
Farmer said to the boll weevil
Yeah, an' I wish that you were in **** home
Lookin' for a home
Ahh, you have a home all right, you have a home
A real hot home, ahhh
