Let me tell you a story about a boll weevil. 
                         Dm7   F 
Now, some of you may not know, but a boll  

weevil is an insect and he's found mostly  

where cotton grows. 
F                    Dm7   F 
Now, where they come from, hm, nobody really  

knows..but this is the way the story goes.

F                           Dm7     F 
The farmer said to the boll weevil, I see  

you're on the square. 
Dm7         F                       Dm7 
Boll weevil said to the farmer, say yep, my  
F 
whole darn family's here. 
                C           Dm7    F 
We gotta have a home, gotta have a home.

The farmer said to the boll weevil, say, why  

do you pick my farm? 

The weevil just laughed at the farmer and said, 
Dm7      F 
we ain't gonna do ya much harm. 
                    C                   Bb

And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug. 
         Dm7  F 
He said, hey, I'd like to make a trade with you. 

Cause, you see if I was a lightning bug, I'd search  

the whole night through. 
                C     Fm          Dm7       F 
Searchin' for a home..I'd have me plenty of home. 

#5.

And the boll weevil called the farmer, and he said, 

you better sell your old machines. 
Dm7        F 
Cause when I'm through with your cotton, heh, you  

can't even buy gasoline. 
                    C                  F 
I'm gonna take me a home, gotta have a home.
