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#                         C#
 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#                         C#
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

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

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

Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
