|
these boll weevils
|
they will rob you of a home
|
'Cause they are looking for a home
|

|
the first time I seen a boll weevil
|
he was sitting on the square
|
and the next time I seen a boll weevil
|

|
they are looking for a home
|

|
the farmer he took the boll weevil
|
put him on the sand
|
the boll weevil said to the farmer
|
you treat me just like a man
|
and I will have a home
|
I will have a home
|
the old lady said to the old man
|
I'm trying my level best
|
to keep these boll weevils
|
out of my brand new cotton dress
|
cause its full of holes
|
yeah, its full of holes
|
the old man said to the old lady
|

|
these boll weevils got into my brand new stetson hat
|
and it's full of holes
|
yeah it's full of holes
|

|
well it's full of holes
|
yeah it's full of holes
|
