Songtexte Boll Weevil - Leadbelly
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
Just
a-lookin'
for
a
home,
just
a-lookin'
for
a
home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Well
the
first
time
that
I
seen
the
boll
weevil
He
was
a-sittin'
on
the
square
Well
the
next
time
that
I
seen
him
He
had
his
a-family
there
Just
a-lookin'
for
a
home,
just
a-lookin'
for
a
home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Well
the
farmer
took
the
boll
weevil
And
he
put
him
on
the
red
hot
sand
Well
the
weevil
said
this
is
a-mighty
hot
But
I
take
it
like
a
man
This
will
be
my
home,
this
will
be
my
home
Well
the
farmer
took
the
boll
weevil
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)
Well
if
anybody
should
ask
you
Who
it
was
who
sang
this
song
Say
a
guitar
picker
from
a-Oklahoma
city
With
a
pair
of
blue
jeans
on
Just
a-lookin'
for
a
home,
just
a-lookin'
for
a
home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
