# Boll Weevil
|
|
|
|
Boll weevil told the farmer \
|
|
"You better treat me right \
|
|
I'll eat up all o' your cotton \
|
|
Sleep in your grain rail tonight"
|
|
|
|
Boll weevil told the farmer \
|
|
"You don't need no Ford machine \
|
|
I'll eat up all of your cotton \
|
|
Can't buy no gasoline"
|
|
|
|
Yonder comes the spider \
|
|
Crawled up and down the wall \
|
|
He must've been going \
|
|
To get his hash's haul
|
|
|
|
I don't see no water \
|
|
But I'm about to drown \
|
|
I don't see no fire \
|
|
But I'm burning down
