Boll Weevil Song (correct speed) Songtext
von Eddie Cochran

Well, the boll weevil and the little black bug
Come from Mexico, they say
Came all the way to Texas
Just lookin′ for a place to stay

Just lookin' for a home
Just lookin′ for a home

Well, the first time I seen the boll weevil
He was sittin' on the square
Well, the next time that I seen him
He had all his family there

Just lookin' for a home
Just lookin′ for a home


Well, the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on the red hot sand
Well, the weevil said, "This is mighty hot
But I′ll take it like a man"

"This'll be my home
This′ll 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'll be my home
This′ll be my home"

Well, if anybody should ask you
Who it was who sang this song
Say, a guitar picker from Oklahoma City
With a pair of blue jeans on

Just lookin' for a home
Just lookin′ for a home
