Boll Weevil Songtext
von Greg Hale Jones

(Echo) Why ain′t you made it home

First time I seen the boll weevil,
He's settin′ on the square,
Next time I seen him,
Had his family there.

Boll Weevil here
Boll Weevil everywhere;
They done ate up all the cotton and the corn,
All but that new gound square

Well the farmer asked the merchant
Uh - for some meat and meal,
"T'aint nothing doing', old man;
Boll weevil′s in your field"

Hay-a-ay, boll weevil,
Where is your naitive home?
Way down in the bottom
Among the cotton and corn


Hay-a-ay, boll weevil,
Boll weevil
Next time I seen him, (he′s setitn' on thre square)
Had his family there.

Hay-a-ay, boll weevil,
Hay-a-ay, boll weevil,
They done ate up all the cotton and the corn,
Had his family there,
Had his family there.

First time I seen the boll weevil,
He′s settin' on the square,
Next time I seen him,
Had his family there.

Boll Weevil here
Boll Weevil everywhere;
They done ate up all the cotton and the corn,
All but that new gound square

Well the farmer asked the merchant
Uh - for some meat and meal,
"T′aint nothing doing', old man;
Boll weevil′s in your field"


Hay-a-ay, boll weevil,
Where is your naitive home?
Way down in the bottom
Among the cotton and corn
Among the cotton and corn
Among the cotton and corn
Among the cotton and corn

Background vocals:

Who has a
Who has a meal for me?
Way down in the bottom
Cotton and Corn
Where is your naitive home?
Where is your naitive home?
Where is your naitive home?
