I Boll Weevil Songtext
von Shocking Blue

Well, the first time I saw the boll weevil
He was a-sittin′ on a square
Well, the next time that I saw him
He had his whole family there

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

Well, the farmer took the boll weevil
And pulled him on the red-hot sand
Well, the weevil said, "It is mighty hot"
"But I take it like a man"

Just a-lookin' for a home
Just a-lookin' for a home


Well, the weevil said to the farmer
"Sell your old machine
When we fill your cup
You can buy gasoline"

Just a-lookin′ for a home
Just a-lookin′ for a home

Well, if anybody should ask you
"Who it was who sang this song?"
Say you get a beating from Oklahoma City
A river blue train, I'm

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

Whoa
