Songtexte

Have you heard the latest, the latest of the song

'Bout that little boll weevil - he done been here and gone;

Lookin' for a home - lookin' for a home

Boll weevil he's a little black buck from Mexico they say

Came all the way to Texas lookin' for a place to stay;

Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home

The first time I seen the boll weevil he was settin' on the square

The next time I seen the boll weevil

he had his whole damn family there...

Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home

Lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home,

Well, the farmer took the boll weevil, he put him in a cake of ice

The boll weevil said to the farmer, "This is mighty cool and nice..."

This will be my home

Well, the farmer took the boll weevil, and he put him in the hot sand

The boll weevil said,

"This is mighty hot but I'll stand it like a man..."

It'll be my home

The boll weevil said to the farmer, "You better leave me alone

"I ate all you cotton, now I'm satert in on your corn..."

I'm lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home

The farmer said to his missus, "Now what do you think of that

The boll weevil's gone and ate a hole in my best Sunday hat..."

He's lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home, home, home

He's lookin' for a home - just a-lookin' for a home,

The farmer said to the merchant, "I ain't made but one bale

Fore I give you that one, I'll fight and go to jail

I'll keep my home..."

I'll keep my home

Oh, the boll weevil's got half the

cotton and the merchant's got the rest

Didn't leave the farmer's wife but one old cotton dress

And it's full of holes...

And it's full of holes

It's full of holes

It"s full of holes

Now, if anyone should ask you, "Who was it made this song?"

Tell him a poor old farmer, he done been there and gone

He ain't got no home...
