[00:00:10] Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil

[00:00:14] Now some of you may not know

[00:00:21] And he's found mostly where cotton grows

[00:00:25] Now where he comes from hm nobody really knows

[00:00:33] But this is way the the story goes

[00:00:39] The farmer said to the boll weevil

[00:00:43] I see you're on the square

[00:00:46] Boll weevil said to the farmer

[00:00:48] Say yep my whole darn family's here

[00:00:52] Gonna have a home

[00:00:56] Gonna have a home

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

[00:01:04] Say why do you pick my farm

[00:01:08] The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said

[00:01:12] We ain't gonna do ya much harm

[00:01:14] We are loving the home

[00:01:22] And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug

[00:01:25] He said hey I'd like to make a trade with you

[00:01:30] But ya see if I was a lightning bug
