Well the boll weevil and the little black bug Come from a-Mexico they say 
Came all the way to Texas Just a-lookin' for a place to stay

Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil 
He was a-sittin' on the square 
Well the next time that I seen him 
He had his a-family there

Well the farmer took the boll weevil 
And he put him on the red hot sand 
Well the weevil said this is a-mighty hot

Well the farmer took the boll weevil 
And he put him on a keg of ice

Well if anybody should ask you 
Who it was who sang this song 
Say a guitar picker from a-Oklahoma city 
With a pair of blue jeans on
