These boll weevils,/They will rob you of a home,
They're a-looking for a home,/They're a-looking for a home.
One time I seen a boll weevil,/He was sitting on a square,
Next time I seen the boll weevil,/He had his whole family there,
He was looking for a home,/He was looking for a home."
Traditional/lyrics Leadbelly
