Well the boll weevil and the little black bug Come from a-Mexico they say
Came all the way to Texas Just a-lookin' for a place to stay
AbDb
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
C slide Db
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Db
Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil
He was a-sittin' on the square
Well the next time that I seen him
He had his a-family there
AbDb
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
C slide Db
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Db
Well the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on the red hot sand
Well the weevil said this is a-mighty hot
But I take it like a man
AbDb
This will be my home, this will be my home
Db
Well the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on a keg of ice
Well the weevil said to the farmer
This is mighty cool and nice
AbDb
This will be my home, this will be my home
Cslide to Db
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Db
Well if anybody should ask you
Who it was who sang this song
Say a guitar picker from a-Oklahoma city
With a pair of blue jeans on
AbDb
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
C slide to Db
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
