Mississippi Boweavil Blues - Charley Patton
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
Suck 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 forty3 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 'tain't got ticket fare' Lordie
Sucks 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
