Boll Weevil Lyrics & Chords By Pink Anderson

Woke up this mornin', woke up this mornin', heard somebody callin' me
Woke up this mornin', heard somebody callin' me
It must've been the mama weevil, that they call the stingeree

Boll weevil here, boll weevil there, boll weevil everywhere
Boll weevil here, boll weevil everywhere
I looked in my meal barrel, I found boll weevil there

First time I seen boll weevil, first time I seen him, he's on a cotton square
First time I seen him, he's on a cotton square
And next time I saw him, moved his whole family there

So the farmer took boll weevil, he took boll weevil, put him in a fryin' pan
He took boll weevil, put him in a fryin' pan
Boll weevil, he told the farmer, "Treated me like a natch'l man."

So, he took boll weevil, he took boll weevil, put him in a block of ice
He took boll weevil, put him in a block of ice
So, boll weevil, he told the farmer, "I think you treat me very nice."

Boll weevil here, boll weevil there, boll weevil everywhere
Boll weevil here, boll weevil everywhere
I looked in my meal barrel, I found boll weevil there

Farmer aksed the merchant, he aksed the merchant, "How 'bout some meat and meal?"
He aksed the merchant, "How 'bout some meat and meal?"
He said, "Get away from here, farmer! You got boll weevils in your field."

Boll weevil here, boll weevil there, boll weevil everywhere
Boll Weevil here, boll weevil everywhere
I looked in my cotton patch, I found boll weevil there

Bo, yah, told the farmer, he told the farmer, "You can ride your Ford machine."
He told the farmer, "You can ride your Ford machine.
When I get through with your cotton patch, you can't even buy gasoline."
