Tex Ritter Boll Weevil (Live)

CW5 Jack Cardwell nice share to get the morning off!

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Tex Ritter honoring the devastating bug Boll Weevil in song.

"Oh, the boll weevil am a little black bug
Come from Mexico, they say, uh huh
Come all the way to Texas
Lookin' for a place to stay
Jus' a-lookin' for a home
Jus' a-lookin' for a home

Now the first time I see the boll weevil
He's a sittin' on the square
Next time I see the boll weevil
Got all o' his family there
Jus' a-lookin' for a home
Jus' a-lookin' for a home

The farmer say to the weevil
"What make your head so red?"
Weevil say to the farmer
"It's a wonder I ain't dead
Lookin' for a home, boss
Jus' a-Iookin' for a home"

The farmer take the weevil
Put him in the red hot fire
Weevil say to the farmer
"Hey, ah ah; hey ah ah"
It'll be my home, yessir
It'll be my home"

The cap'n say to the missus
"What do you think of that?
Boll weevil done made a nest
In my best Sunday hat"
Gonna have a home
Gonna have a home

The boll weevil got half the cotton
The merchant got the rest
Didn't leave the farmer's wife
But one old cotton dress
And it full o' holes
It a-full o' holes

Now if anybody should ax ya
Who it was that a-made this song
Tell 'em to the dark complected fella
With a pair o' blue duckins on
Ain't got no home, no sir
Ain' t a-got no home
Po' boy"
