Boll Weevil

Have you heard the latest, the latest of the song
 'Bout that little boll weevil - he done been here and gone;
 Lookin' for a home - lookin' for a home
 Boll weevil he's a little black buck from Mexico they say
 Came all the way to Texas lookin' for a place to stay;
 Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home
 Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home
 The first time I seen the boll weevil he was settin' on the square
 The next time I seen the boll weevil
 he had his whole damn family there...
 Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home
 Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home,
 Well, the farmer took the boll weevil, he put him in a cake of ice
 The boll weevil said to the farmer, "This is mighty cool and nice..."
 This will be my home
 This will be my home
 Well, the farmer took the boll weevil, and he put him in the hot sand
 The boll weevil said,
 "This is mighty hot but I'll stand it like a man..."
 It'll be my home
 It'll be my home
 The boll weevil said to the farmer, "You better leave me alone
 "I ate all you cotton, now I'm satert in on your corn..."
 I'm lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home
 I'm lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home
 The farmer said to his missus, "Now what do you think of that
 The boll weevil's gone and ate a hole in my best Sunday hat..."
 He's lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home
 He's lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home,
 The farmer said to the merchant, "I ain't made but one bale
 Fore I give you that one, I'll fight and go to jail
 I'll keep my home..."
 I'll keep my home
 Oh, the boll weevil's got half the
 cotton and the merchant's got the rest
 Didn't leave the farmer's wife but one old cotton dress
 And it's full of holes...
 And it's full of holes
 It's full of holes
 It"s full of holes
 Now, if anyone should ask you, "Who was it made this song?"
 Tell him a poor old farmer, he done been there and gone
 He ain't got no home...
 He ain't got no home...
 He ain't got no home...
 He ain't got no home...
