The Boll Weevil Song - Brook Benton

Written by：Traditional

Let me tell you 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 nobody really knows

But this is the way 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

We gotta have a home gotta have a home

The farmer said to the boll weevil

Say why do you pick my farm

The weevil just laughed at the farmer and said

We ain't gonna do ya much harm

We're looking for home

And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug

He said hey I'd like to make a trade with you

'Cos you see if I was a lightning bug

I'd search the whole night through

Searching for home I'd have me plenty of homes

And the boll weevil called the farmer and he said

You better sell your old machines

'Cause when I'm through with your cotton

You can't even buy gasoline

I gonna 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 I wish that you were in

Lookin' for home lookin' for a home

Ah you have a home all right

You'd have a home real hot home
