Songs Title：the boll weevil song

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 the way 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＂

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＂

Ho-o-o-o-o -o-o-o -o-o-o o-o-ome＂

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

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

＂Stake me a 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

Lookin' for a home

（Ahh you have a home all right you have a home

（A real hot home ahhh
