Boll Weevil Lead Belly

[Intro: Leadbelly & Ophelia]
What's your name, little girl?
My name's Ophelia, what's yours?
My name is Huddie Ledbetter
Oh
These young folks in the studio are all friends of mine and they've come to the studio this morning to hear you sing and play
Are you glad to see them?
Well, I'm sure am, good mornin' chil'en!
Good morning, Ledbetter!
We sure do like the tune you were just playing, Mr. Ledbetter
You know some more that you could sing for us?
Well, I know lots of 'em
What about the one about the boll weevil? I thought that was awfully cute
Well, that'd be mighty fine
The boll weevil, I'll tell you a little story about it, which is a little bug a long years ago, robbed people of their homes
And ever since the boll weevil been gone, people been singin' this song

[Verse 1]
You can talk about the latest
The latest of your home
These boll weevils, they will rob you of a home
They're lookin' for a home
They're lookin' for a home

[Verse 2]
The first time I seen the boll weevil
He was sittin' on a square
Next time I seen the boll weevil
He had his whole family there
He is lookin' for a home
He is lookin' for a home
