Mississippi boll weevil

The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!

Louisiana lived, in Texas where I was bred and born, Lordie

Bollweevil, bollweevil, say where's your native home? Lordie

Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn, Lordie

Bollweevil left Texas, Lord, he bid me "fare ye well", Lordie

Down the Mississippi, gonna give Louisiana hell, Lordie

Well, I saw the bollweevil a-circle in the air, Lordie

The next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordie

The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!

Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn, Lordie

(spoken: Play)

The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!

The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!

The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie, Lord!
