@miltonmoore7898

I really like this
song. But it's a
shame that this simple little
novelty song has a jillion more views than any of his
serious love
ballads that
really showcased the
power and glory of his non
pariel voice and
immortalized him, in
such songs as:
BLUE MOON;
EVERY TIME I'M KISSING YOU; MOONLIGHT
IN VERMONT;
HAWAIIAN
WEDDING SONG; MORE;
PEG O' MY HEART; & THAT
OLD FEELING.
But that's the
public for you.

Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil
Now, some of you may not know, but a boll weevil is an insect.
And he's foundmostly where cotton grows.
Now, where he comes from, hm, nobody really knows.
But this is the way the story goes.

The farmer said to the boll weevil
"I see you're on the square"
Boll weevil said to the farmer
"Say yep! My whole darn family's here"

The farmer said to the boll weevil
"Say, why do you pick my farm?"
The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said "
We ain't gonna do ya much harm"

Ho-o-o-o-o, -o-o-o, -o-o-o, o-o-ome"
And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug.
He said "Hey, I'd like to make a trade with
You. But, ya see if I was a lightning bug,
I'd search the whole night through"
Searchin' for a home, I'd have me plenty of home"
And the boll weevil called the farmer, 'n' he said
"Ya better sell your old machines,
'Cause when I'm through with your cotton,
Heh, you can't even buy gasoline." I'M gonnaBR
Stake me a home, gotta have a home

And the boll weevil said to the farmer, said
"Farmer, I'd like to wish you well."
Farmer said to the boll weevil,
"Yeah, an' I wish that you were in ****"
LOOKIN' for a
Home, lookin' for a home
(Ahh, you have a home all right, )
You have a home
(A real hot home, ahhh)

@MrRoute6600

Love this Classic Song . Brook all songs you sang are Fantastic

@cookmarq4360

I dedicated this little tune for myself and my 5 children, during the time that we had been homless, I tried to cheer them up by singing songs that would( hopefully) make'em feel better! They're grown now and have homes of their own, God bless my little bo wevil's.♥♥♥

@woodbinetitties

@rodmcdonough6111

I can picture your children smiling when you sang to them. God Bless you as well!

@NavyBob1965

This is one of those songs I haven't heard since my high school days in the early 1960's. Brook was and still is one of my favorite singers. Pure joy to listening to and he passed too early.
