(Wah-hoo)
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
Just a-lookin for a home, just a-lookin for a home

(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
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
Just a-lookin for a home, just a-lookin for a home
slide
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
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
But I take it like a man
This will be my home, this will be my home
Well the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on a keg of ice
Well the weevil said to the farmer
This is mighty cool and nice
This will be my home, this will be my home

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
Just a-lookin for a home, just a-lookin for a home
