Mississippi Boweavil Blues Lyrics

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
