Boll Weevil

(album: At Home - 1969)

Well the first time I saw Boll Weevil
He was a-sitting on a square
Well the next time that I saw him
He had his whole family there
Just a looking for a home

Well the farmer took the Boll Weevil
And pulled him on the red hot sand
Well the Weevil said: "It is mighty hot"
But I take it like a man
Just a looking for a home

Well, the Weevil said to the farmer:
"Sell your old machine
When we fill your cup
You can buy gasolino"
Just a looking for a home

Well if somebody should ask you
Who it was who sang this song
Say you set a beating from Oklahoma city

Just a looking for a home
