Hey, boll weevil,
Don't sing them blues no more,
Hey, hey, boll weevil,
Don't sing them blues no more,
Boll weevil's here, boll weevil's everywhere you go.
I'm a lone boll weevil,
Been out a good long time,
I'm a lone boll weevil,
Been out a good long time,
I'm gonna sing this tune to ease a boll weevil's lonesome mind.
I don't want no man
To put no sugar in my tea,
I don't want no man,
To put no sugar in my tea,
Some of them are so evil, I'm 'fraid they might poison me.
I went downtown,
I bought me a hat,
I brought it back home,
I laid it on the shelf,
Looked at my bed,
I'm gettin' tired of sleeping by myself.
