Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil
He was a—sittin' on the square

He had his a—family there

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
                G#                    C#
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
                     G#                         C#
Just a—lookin' for a home, just a—lookin' for a home
