He was a-sittin' on the square

C#Well (x43121@1)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

C#Well (x43121@1)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

C#Well (x43121@1)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# (xx1114@1)                       C#Just (x43121@1)a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
