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#5                         C#5
 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#5                         C#5
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home

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#5                    C#5
This will be my home, this will be my home

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#5                    C#5
This will be my home, this will be my home

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#5                         C#5
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
