Well the boll weevil and the little black bug Come from a-Mexico they say
Came all the way to Texas Just a-lookin' for a place to stay
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil
He was a-sittin' on the square
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Well the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on the red hot sand
This will be my home, this will be my home
Well the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on a keg of ice
This will be my home, this will be my home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Well if anybody should ask you
Who it was who sang this song
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
