[00:00:09] Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil

[00:00:13] Now some of you may not know

[00:00:20] And he's found mostly where cotton grows

[00:00:24] Now where he comes from hm nobody really knows

[00:00:32] But this is way the the story goes

[00:00:38] The farmer said to the boll weevil

[00:00:42] I see you're on the square

[00:00:45] Boll weevil said to the farmer

[00:00:47] Say yep my whole darn family's here

[00:00:51] Gonna have a home

[00:00:55] Gonna have a home

[00:01:00] The farmer said to the boll weevil

[00:01:03] Say why do you pick my farm

[00:01:07] The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said

[00:01:11] We ain't gonna do ya much harm

[00:01:13] We are loving the home

[00:01:21] And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug

[00:01:24] He said hey I'd like to make a trade with you

[00:01:29] But ya see if I was a lightning bug

[00:01:32] I'd search the whole night through
