Boll Weevil Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
