The poor weevil said to the farmer
I can stand it like a man
It'll be my home, it'll be my home
And the farmer took the poor weevil

This is mighty cool and nice
And the farmer took the boll weevil
He fed him some Paris green
The boll weevil said to the farmer
This is the finest I ever seen
And the boll weevil said to the farmer
Man, you better leave me alone
I ain't up on your cotton
I can eat up all your corn
I got your home and I got your home pain
Well the farmer said to the merchant
The poor weevil ate my cotton up
And he left me nothing but sticks
And the poor weevil got the rest
Just one old cotton dress
What a poor old cotton farmer
With a pair of blue jeans on
And he's looking for a homer
Hey, yes, he's lookin' for a home
