Lyrics

Boll Weevil

Boll Weevil tol' the farmer
Don't need no Ford machine
I'll eat up all your cotton
Can't buy no gasoline

Boll Weevil tol' the farmer
You better treat me right
I'll eat up all your cotton
Sleep in your grain'ry tonight

I can't see no water
But I'm about to drown
I can't see no fire
But I'm burnin' down

Yonder comes the spider
Runnin' up an' down the wall
I reckon he's goin' to get his ashes hauled
And get his ashes hauled

Boll Weevil tol' the farmer
I don't need no Ford machine
I'll eat up all your cotton
Can't buy no gasoline
