The White Stripes - Boll Weevil (Lead Belly cover) lyrics

You may talk about the latest, the latest of your own These boll weevils, they'll rob you of your home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home The first time I seen a boll weevil He was sitting on the stairs The next time I seen a boll weevil He had his whole family there They are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home The farmer, he took the boll weevil and put him on the ice The boll weevil said to the farmer

"You treat me mighty nice" They are looking for a home They are looking for a home All right, they are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home I said, "If anybody asks you people who sang you this song You tell 'em it was Jackie White He's done been here and gone" They are looking for a home They are looking for a home All right, they are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home They are looking for a home
