Testo Boll Weevil - Pete Seeger
Testo della canzone Boll Weevil (Pete Seeger), tratta dall'album Pete Seeger Sings Lead Belly
Have you heard the latest
The latest of the song
'Bout that little boll weevil
Done been here and gone
He's lookin' for a home
He's lookin' for a home
The boll weevil is a little black bug
Come from Mexico, they say
Come all the way to Texas
Just lookin' for a place to stay
He's lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home
First time I seen the boll weevil
He was sittin' on the square
Next time I seen the boll weevil
He had his whole damned family there
He's lookin' for a home
He's lookin' for a home, home, home
He's lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home
Farmer took the boll weevil
Put him in a cake of ice
The boll weevil said to the farmer
"This is mighty cool and nice
This'll be my home
This'll be my home, home, home
This'll be my home
This'll be my home"
The farmer took the boll weevil
Put him in a hot fire
Boll weevil said to the farmer
"Here I are, here I are
This'll be my home
This'll be my home"
Boll weevil said to the farmer
"You'd better leave me alone
I've done in all your cotton
Now I'm gonna start in on your corn
I'll have a home
I'll have a home, home, home
I'll have a home
I'll have a home"
Farmer say to his missus
"What do you think of that?
Boll weevil's gone and ate a hole
In my best Sunday hat
He's lookin' for a home
He's lookin' for a home"
Now the boll weevils ate half the cotton
Merchants got the rest
Didn't leave that farmer's wife
But one old cotton dress
And it's full of holes
It's full of holes
It's full of holes
It's full of holes
The farmer said to the merchant
"Ain't made but one bale
'Fore I give you that one
I would fight and go to jail
I'll keep my home
Keep my home"
Now if anybody should ask you
"Who was it made this song?"
Tell 'em was a poor old farmer
With a pair of blue duckins on
Ain't got no home
Ain't got no home, home, home
Ain't got no home
Ain't got no home"
