Lyrics

No gypsy woman, no gypsy woman can't fry no meat for me, Lordy mama
 No gypsy woman can't fry no meat for me
 I ain't scared, I'm skittish she might poison me
 'Cause I woke up this morning,
 woke up this morning, heard somebody callin' me, Lordy mama
 Woke up this morning, heard somebody callin' me
 Must've been a weevil, thing they call the stingaree
 A bo' weevil's here, a bo' weevil's there,
 each and, mama's everywhere, the preachers tell me that
 Bo' weevil's here, bo' weevil's everywhere
 I dreamt a dream last night, it was all in your flour there
 The farmer went to the merchant,
 said, "I want meat and meal", Lordy mama
 Farmer went to the merchant, says, "I wants meat and meal"
 The merchant screamed, "No, no, the bo' weevil's in your field"
 Bitin' spider, bitin' spider, crawlin' on the wall
 Bitin' spider now, crawlin' on the wall
 Grinds it nat'ral but he's crazy 'bout his alcohol
 I heard a mighty rumblin' down under the ground, Lordy mama
 Mighty rumblin' way down under the ground
 The boll weevil and the devil was t'ievin' with somebody's brown
 Said he was low and squatty, said he was cut to speed, Lordy mama
 He's low and squatty, said he was cut to speed
 Says he has everything that a poor bo weevil needs
 Now bo' weevil, now bo' weevil,
 sittin' down on the square, the first time I seen
 Mister Bo' Weevil, sittin' down on the square
 Next time I seen him, mama, he had his whole family there
 Bo' weevil told that farmer, "Buy no Ford machine", Lordy mama
 He told the farmer not to buy no Ford machine
 'Cause he's gonna fix it so he can't buy no gasoline
