Boll Weevil - Pete Seeger
Have you heard the latest
The latest of the song
'Bout that little boll weevil
He done been there 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 alookin' for a home home home
Alookin' for a home
Just alookin' for a 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
He alookin' for a home
He alookin' for a home home home
Alookin' for a home
He alookin' 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 be my home
This 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 be my home
It be my home home home
It be my home
It be my home
The boll weevil said to the farmer
You better leave me alone
I ate all you cotton
Now I'm going satert in on your corn
I'm lookin' for home
I'm lookin' for home home home
I'm lookin' for home
I'm lookin' for home
The farmer said to his missus
What you think of that
The boll weevil's gone
And ate a hole in my best Sunday hat
Is lookin' for home
Is lookin' for home
The farmer said to the merchant
I ain't made but one bale
Fore I give you that one
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
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
