Boll Weevil - Bobby Bare

Now boll weevil just look like bove

Come on with Mexico

All the way through Texas I’m looking for a home

Looking for a home

Now the first time I see the boll weevil

He’s sitting on the square

Next time I see the boll weevil

Got all his family there

Looking for a home

Looking for a home

Now the farmer say to the weevil

What makes your head so red?

Then walking in his hot sun

It’s a wonder I ain’t late

Looking for a home

Looking for a home

Then the boll weevil told the farmer

You better sell your machine

Cause when I’m through with your cotton house

You can even buy gasoline

Gotta have a home

Gonna be my home

And the farmer take the boll weevil

Put him into red hot sand

The weevil said with mighty heart

But I’ll take it like a man

Be my home

Gonna be my home

And the farmer took the boll weevil

Put him into red hot fire

The weevil said to the farmer

I must say I’m hot

Be my home

Gonna be my home

Then the boll weevil say to the farmer

I’d like to wish you well

The farmer said to the boll weevil

Wish you were in hell

Looking for a home

Looking for a home

Now if anyone happens to ask it

You that was had to sing his song

Tell him a long legged guitar

Pick it with a bad blue duckin long

Looking for a home

I ain’t got no home

I ain’t got no home boss

I ain’t got no home
