[Intro]
A blues is a feelin', and when you get blues, it makes some people wear out their shoes, and they got the blues when they wear out their shoes, and blues is sad news
The boll weevil, I'll tell you a little story about it, is a little bug a long years ago robbed people of their homes and ever since the boll weevil been gone, the people been singing 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

[Verse 3]
The farmer take the boll weevil
Put him in the sand
The boll weevil says to the farmer, "You treat me just like a man
And I'll have a home, I will have a home
I will have a home, I will-a have a home
I will-a have a home, I will-a have a home"
