Mississippi Bo Weavil Blues
 

It's a little boll weevil : she's moving in the air

You can plant your cotton : and you won't get half a cent

Boll weevil boll weevil : where's your little home

A‑Louisiana and Texas : is where I's bred and born

Well I saw the boll weevil : Lord a‑circle Lordy in the air

The next time I seen him : Lord he had his family there

Boll weevil left Texas : Lord he bid me fare you well

I'm going down to Mississippi : going to give Louisiana hell

Boll weevil and his wife : went and sit down on the hill

Boll weevil told his wife : let's take this forty in

Boll weevil told his wife : I believe I may go north

Let's leave Louisiana : and go to Arkansas

Boll weevil told the farmer : that I ain't going to treat you fair

Took all the blossoms : and leave you an empty square

Boll weevil boll weevil : where your little home

Most anywhere : they raise cotton and corn

Boll weevil boll weevil : call that treating me fair

Next time I seen you : you have your family there
