Missisippi Bo Weavil Blues
Sees a little boll weevil keeps movin' in the ..., Lordy
You can plant your cotton and you won't get a half a bale, Lordy
Bo weevil, bo weevil, where's your native home? Lordy
"A-Louisiana raised in Texas,
Least is where I was bred and born", Lordy
Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord, a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordy
The next time I see'd him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordy
Bo weevil left Texas, Lord, he bid me "fare ye well", Lordy
(Where you goin' now?)
I'm goin' down the Mississippi, gonna give Louisiana hell, Lordy
(How is that, boy?)
Suck all the blossoms and he leave your hedges square, Lordy
The next time I see'd you, you know you had your family there, Lordy
Bo weevil meet his wife, "We can sit down on the hill", Lordy
Bo weevil told his wife, "Let's trade this forty in", Lordy
Bo weevil told his wife, says, "I believe I may go North", Lordy
(Hold on, I'm gonna tell all about that)
"Let's leave Louisiana, we can go to Arkansas", Lordy
Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordy
Next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordy
Bo weevil told the farmer that "I 'tain't got ticket fare", Lordy
Sucks all the blossom and leave your hedges square, Lordy
Bo weevil, bo weevil, where your native home? Lordy
"Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn", Lordy
Bo weevil, bo weevil, "Outta treat me fair", Lordy
The next time I did you had your family there, Lordy
You can plant your cotton and you won't get a half a bale, Lordy
Bo weevil, bo weevil, where's your native home? Lordy
"A-Louisiana raised in Texas,
Least is where I was bred and born", Lordy
Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord, a-circle, Lord, in the air, Lordy
The next time I see'd him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordy
Bo weevil left Texas, Lord, he bid me "fare ye well", Lordy
(Where you goin' now?)
I'm goin' down the Mississippi, gonna give Louisiana hell, Lordy
