Boll Weevil Songtext
von Old Crow Medicine Show

Now the boll weevil said to the farmer
"Well, what do ya think of that?"
"Come on down to my house, made a home in my old straw hat"

Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)

Farmer gone to the merchant, "I need a lil′ meat and meal"
"Just go on away from me, ya got a boll weevil down your field"

Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
I'm looking for a home (looking for a home)

The first time that I seen him fiddling in the square
Next time I seen him got his whole darn family there

Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Ah, looking for a home (looking for a home)


Farmer gone to the banker, "I need to cash a check"
"Just go on away from me, ya got a boll weevil down your neck"

Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, I′m looking for a home (looking for a home)

Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)

Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home, oh (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)

Yeah, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Look, look for a home (looking for a home)
Now, I'm looking now (looking for a home)
(Looking for a home)


Oh, I like looking for a home (looking for a home)
Man, let me go home (looking for a home)
Oh, love, looking for a home (looking for a home)
Are you looking for a home? (Looking for a home)
I'm looking for a home (looking for a home) (nobody at home)
Been looking for a home (looking for a home)
Oh, now, I′ve been looking (looking for a home)
Oh yeah, I′m looking, I'm looking (you ain′t going home, boy)
Oh, I'm looking, oh, I′m looking (you ain't going home, boy)
I′m looking for a home, boy
Baby, I'm looking for a home

Baby, I'm looking for a home (oh I′m looking for a home)
I′m looking for a home (I'm looking for a home)
I′m looking for a home (for a home)
I'm looking for a home (looking for a home)
I′m looking for a home (I'm looking for a home)
Looking for a home (you ain′t got no home, boy)
Looking for a home (looking for a home)
Looking for a home (yeah, I'm looking)
