Lyrics:

Well, the first time I saw the boll weevil
He was a-sittin' on a square
Well, the next time that I saw him
He had his whole family there
Just a-lookin' for a home
Just a-lookin' for a home
Well, the farmer took the boll weevil
And pulled him on the red-hot sand
Well, the weevil said, 'It is mighty hot'
'But I take it like a man'
Just a-lookin' for a home
Just a-lookin' for a home
Well, the weevil said to the farmer
'Sell your old machine
When we fill your cup
You can buy gasoline'
Just a-lookin' for a home
Just a-lookin' for a home
Well, if anybody should ask you
'Who it was who sang this song?'
Say you get a beating from Oklahoma City
A river blue train, I'm
Just a-lookin' for a home
Just a-lookin' for a home

Whoa
