The Boll Weevil Song (1961) ASCD320
Brook Benton

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

We gotta have a home, gotta have a home

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

We're looking for a home

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

Searchin' for a home, I'd have me plenty of home

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.

I'm gonna 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 hell

Lookin' for a home, lookin' for a home

Ahh, you have a home all right, you have a home

A real hot home, ahhh
