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  Just a-lookin’ for a home just a-lookin’ for a home                                  (Doo-doo-wop-wop) 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 Just a-lookin’ for a home just a-lookin’ for a home (Doo-doo-wop-wop) 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 This will be my home this will be my home 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 This will be my home this will be my home (Doo-doo-wop-wop) 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 Just a-lookin’ for a home just a-lookin’ for a home slide to (Doo-doo-wop-wop)
