Roger McGuinn - The Ballad of the Boll Weevil lyrics

The Boll Weevil is a little black bug come from Mexico they say All the way from Texas, just a-lookin' for a place to stay Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home The first time I saw the boll weevil he was sitting in the square The next time I saw the boll weevil he had his whole family there Just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home Just a-lookin' for a home The farmer took the boll weevil and put him in the hot hot sand The boll weevil said "This is mighty hot but I'll stand in it like a man" This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home The farmer took the boll weevil and put him in a lump of ice The weevil said to the farmer "Man! This is mighty cool and nice." This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home This'll be my home The boll weevil said to the farmer "You can ride that Ford machine But when I get through with your cotton field you won't buy no gasoline You won't have no home." You won't have no home You won't have no home You won't have no home You won't have no home You won't have no home The merchant got half the cotton the boll weevil got the rest He didn't leave that farmer's wife but one old cotton dress And it was full of holes And it was full of holes And it was full of holes And it was full of holes And it was full of holes And it was full of holes The Boll Weevil is a little black bug come from Mexico they say All the way from Texas just a-lookin' for a place to stay
