Well the boll weevil and the little black bug

Come from a-Mexico they say

Came all the way to Texas

Just a-lookin' for a place to stay
6
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
7
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)

Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil
9
He was a-sittin' on the square
10
Well the next time that I seen him
11
He had his a-family there
12
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
13
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)

Well the farmer took the boll weevil
15
And he put him on the red hot sand
16
Well the weevil said this is a-mighty hot
17
But I take it like a man
18
This will be my home, this will be my home
19
Well the f armer took the boll weevil
20
And he put him on a keg of ice

Well the weevil said to the farmer

This is mighty cool and nice

This will be my home, this will be my home

(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
25
Well if anybody should ask you
26
Who it was who sang this song
27
Say a guitar picker from a-Oklahoma city
28
With a pair of blue jeans on
29
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
