Charley Patton - Mississippi Bo Weavil Blues lyrics

Sees a little boll weevil keeps movin' in the, Lordie! You can plant your cotton and you won't get a half a bale, Lordie Bo weevil, bo weevil, where's your native home? Lordie "A-Louisiana raised in Texas, least is where I was bred and born", Lordie Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord, a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordie The next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordie Bo weevil left Texas, Lord, he bid me "fare ye well", Lordie (Where you goin' now?) I'm goin' down the Mississippi, gonna give Louisiana hell, Lordie (How is that, boy?) s** all the blossoms and he leave your hedges square, Lordie The next time I seed you, you know you had your family there, Lordie Bo weevil meet his wife, "We can sit down on the hill", Lordie Bo weevil told his wife, "Let's trade this forty in", Lordie Bo weevil told his wife, says, "I believe I may go North", Lordie (Hold on, I'm gonna tell all about that) "Let's leave Louisiana, we can go to Arkansas", Lordie Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordie Next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordie Bo weevil told the farmer that "I 'ain't got ticket fare", Lordie s**s all the blossom and leave your hedges square, Lordie Bo weevil, bo weevil, where your native home? Lordie "Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn", Lordie Bo weevil, bo weevil, "Outta treat me fair", Lordie The next time I did you had your family there, Lordie
