The Boll Weevil Song - Brook Benton
Written by：Traditional
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 way the 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
Gonna have a home
Gonna 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 are loving the 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
Sudden but home
I've be with you 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 treat me your 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 home
Looking for a home
Looking for a home
Ahh you have a home all right you have a home
A real hot home ahhh
