Now boll weevil just look like bove
Come on with Mexico
All the way through Texas Iâm looking for a home
Looking for a home
Now the first time I see the boll weevil
Heâs sitting on the square
Next time I see the boll weevil
Got all his family there
Looking for a home
Looking for a home
Now the farmer say to the weevil
What makes your head so red?
Then walking in his hot sun
Itâs a wonder I ainât late
Looking for a home
Looking for a home
Then the boll weevil told the farmer
You better sell your machine
Cause when Iâm through with your cotton house
You can even buy gasoline
Gotta have a home
Gonna be my home
And the farmer take the boll weevil
Put him into red hot sand
The weevil said with mighty heart
But Iâll take it like a man
Be my home
Gonna be my home
And the farmer took the boll weevil
Put him into red hot fire
The weevil said to the farmer
I must say Iâm hot
Be my home
Gonna be my home
Then the boll weevil say to the farmer
Iâd like to wish you well
The farmer said to the boll weevil
Wish you were in hell
Looking for a home
Looking for a home
Now if anyone happens to ask it
You that was had to sing his song
Tell him a long legged guitar
Pick it with a bad blue duckin long
Looking for a home
I ainât got no home
I ainât got no home boss
I ainât got no home
