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

[00:00:12] Now some of you may not know

[00:00:16] But a boll weevil is an insect

[00:00:18] And he's found mostly where cotton grows

[00:00:22] Now where he comes from hm nobody really knows

[00:00:29] But this is way the story goes

[00:00:36] The farmer said to the boll weevil

[00:00:40] I see you're on the square'

[00:00:43] Boll weevil said to the farmer

[00:00:45] 'Yep my whole darn family's here'

[00:00:57] The farmer said to the boll weevil

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

[00:01:04] The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said

[00:01:07] 'We ain't gonna do ya much harm'

[00:01:09] Ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-ome'

[00:01:18] And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug

[00:01:21] He said 'hey I'd like to make a trade with you

[00:01:24] But ya see if I was a lightning bug

[00:01:38] And the boll weevil called the farmer 'n' he said

[00:01:42] 'Ya better sell your old machines

[00:01:45] 'Cause when I'm through with your cotton

[00:01:48] Heh you can't even buy gasoline

[00:01:50] 'Take me a home gotta have a home

[00:01:59] And the boll weevil said to the farmer said 'farmer

[00:02:03] I'd like to wish you well'

[00:02:05] Farmer said to the boll weevil

[00:02:08] 'Yeah an' I wish that you were in 'home

[00:02:11] Lookin' for a home

[00:02:15] Ahh you have a home all right you have a home
