Boll Weevil

Ain'T No Grave - Odetta

Written by：Traditional

First time I see the boll weevil

Sittin' on the square

Next time I seen him

Had his family there

Hey boll weevil

Where your native home

Way down in the bottom

'Neath the cotton and corn

Farmer asked the merchant

Gimme a little meat a little meal

Ain't nothin' doin' old man

Boll weevil in your fiel'

Hey boll weevil

Where's your native home

Way down in the bottom

'Neath the cotton and corn

First time I see the boll weevil

Sittin' on the square

Next time I seen him

Had his family there

Hey boll weevil

Where your native home

Way down in the bottom

'Neath the cotton and corn
