Well, a boll weevil and a little black bug
Come from Mexico, they say
He come all the way to Texas
Just lookin' for a place to stay
Lookin' for a home
Just lookin' for a home
Well, the first time I seen a boll weevil
He was a-standin' in the square
The next time that I seen him
He had the whole damn family there
Lookin' for a home
Just lookin' for a home
Well, the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on the red hot sand
The boll weevil said, "This sure is hot
But I'll take it like a man"
Lookin' for a home
This might have to be my home
Farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on a block of ice
The boll weevil said to the farmer
He said, "Man, this sure is nice"
This'll be my home
I'll make this my home, mmm
If anybody asks you
Who it was that sung this song
It was a guitar picker from Oklahoma City
With a pair of blue jeans on
Just lookin' for a home
I'm lookin' for a home
Keep on lookin' for a home, alright
Keep on lookin' for a home
Lookin' high and low for a home
Gotta pick me a home
I've been everywhere that you can roam
Lookin', lookin', lookin' for a home
