Well, the boll weevils
is a little black bug
come from Mexico, they say.
Come all the way to Texas,
looking for a place to stay.
Looking for a home,
looking for a home,
looking for a home,
looking for a home.
Well, the first time I seen the boll weevil,
he was sitting on the square.
Next time I see the boll weevil
he hides his family there
Lookin' for a home,
lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home,
lookin' for a home
Well the farmer says to the boll weevil
What makes your face so red?
Weevil says to the farmer
Lord it's a wonder I ain't dead
Lookin' for a home,
lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home,
lookin' for a home
Where the farmer take the mole evil
and put him in the fire
Evil says it's not mine,
but it's just what I desire
Have a home, have a home
Have a home, have a home
Where the farmer take the mole evil
and put him in the ice
Evil says to the farmer,
Lord, it's mighty cool and nice
Have a home, have a home
Have a home, have a home
The farmer takin' the bull
We've already put him in the sand
Weevil says to the farmer
I'm gonna stand this like a man
Have a home, have a home
Have a home, have a home
Merchant got lost in cotton
Weevil got dressed
Didn't leave the farmer's wife
But one old cotton dress

If anybody should ask you
who it was that made the song,
it was boy
Dirk Farmwell, a good man here gone.
Got no home, got no home.
Got no home, got no home.
Got no home, got no home.
Got no home, got no home
