Blind Willie McTell - Boll Weevil Lyrics

Lyrics Boll Weevil - Blind Willie McTell




Boll weevil, boll weevil
Where you get your grand long bill?
"I got it from Texas, I got it from the western hills
I've got it from Texas, I got it from the western hills"
Boll weevil, he told the farmer, says
"Don't you buy no more pills
Ain't gonna make enough money to pay your drug store bills
Ain't going to make enough money to even pay your drug store bills"
Boll weevil, he told the farmer
"Don't you plow no more
Ain't gonna make enough flour, in your back door
You ain't gonna make enough flour to even put in your back door"
Boll weevil, he told the farmer
"Don't buy no Ford machine
You ain't going to make enough money to even buy gasoline
Ain't going to make enough money, even buy gasoline"
Boll weevil said to the farmer
"Don't buy no more pills
Ain't going to make enough money to even buy your meals
Won't make enough money to even buy your meals"
Well now, boll weevil, boll weevil
Where you say you get your great long bill?
"I got it from Texas, out in the western hills
Way out in the Panhandle, out in the western hills"
