Let me tell you a story about a boll weevil.
                         Dm7   F
Now, some of you may not know, but a boll
weevil is an insect and he's found mostly
where cotton grows.
F                    Dm7   F
Now, where they come from, hm, nobody really
knows..but this is the way the story goes.

F                           Dm7     F
The farmer said to the boll weevil, I see
you're on the square.
Dm7         F                       Dm7
Boll weevil said to the farmer, say yep, my
F
whole darn family's here.
                C           Dm7    F
We gotta have a home, gotta have a home.

The farmer said to the boll weevil, say, why
do you pick my farm?
The weevil just laughed at the farmer and said,
Dm7      F

And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug.
         Dm7  F
He said, hey, I'd like to make a trade with you.
Cause, you see if I was a lightning bug, I'd search
the whole night through.
                C     Fm          Dm7       F
Searchin' for a home..I'd have me plenty of home.

And the boll weevil called the farmer, and he said,
you better sell your old machines.
Dm7        F
Cause when I'm through with your cotton, heh, you
can't even buy gasoline.
                    C                  F
I'm gonna take me a home, gotta have a home.

F                                             Dm7
And the boll weevil said to the farmer, said, Mr.
F

                                Dm7   F
Farmer said to the boll weevil, yeah, and I wish
