Lyrics

Boll Weevil

BOLL WEEVIL
Let me hear you squawk
Like a little seagull
Let me hear you talk
Sounding so regal
I wanna be good
But you got me feelin' evil
I eat your cotton
Like a real boll weevil
A little boll weevil

You think you're funny
Got everybody laughing
You think you're clever
Taking without asking
The cotton's gone
& Now something's going on
It's got me gleeful
Like a little boll weevil
All your money
All your shooters

All your lovers
And all your suiters
There's one thing that just don't make 'em equal
There's no one like me
Your little boll weevil
Let me hear you squawk
Like a little seagull
Let me hear you talk
Sounding so regal
I wanna be good

But you got me feelin' evil
I eat your cotton
Like a little boll weevil
