Now the boll weevil said to the farmer, "Now what do ya think of that?"
Come on down to my house make a home in my old straw hat

Lookin' for a home
Yeah lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home

Farmer gone to the merchant, "I need a lil' meat and meal"
Just go on away from me ya got a boll weevil down your peel

Lookin' for a home
Yeah lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home
Ah, lookin' for a home

First time that I seen him a fiddlin in the square
Next time I seen him got his whole darn family there

Lookin' for a home
Yeah lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home
Ah, lookin' for a home

Farmer gone to the banker, "I need to cash a check"
Just go on away from me ya got a boll weevil down your neck
Lookin' for a home
Yeah lookin' for a home
Lookin' for a home
Yeah, lookin' for a home
