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 
                                                           G#                         C# 
 Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home

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 
                     G#                         C# 
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home

C# 
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 
                G#                    C# 
This will be my home, this will be my home 
C# 
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 
                G#                    C# 
This will be my home, this will be my home

C# 
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 
                     G#                         C# 
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home 
 C slide to C# 
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
