Lyrics The Boll Weevil - Odetta

First time I see the boll weevil
Sittin' on the square
Next time I seen him
Had his family there

"Hey, boll weevil
Where's your native home?"
"Way down in the bottom
'Neath the cotton and corn."

Farmer asked the merchant
"Gimme a little meat, a little meal."
"Ain't nothin' doin', old man
Boll weevil in your fiel'

First time I see the boll weevil
Sittin' on the square
Next time I seen him
Had his family there
