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 ducking long
Looking for a home
I ain't got no home
I ain't got no home boss
I ain't got no home
