Lyrics

Hey, Boll Weevil, don't sing them blues no more. Hey, Boll Weevil, don't sing them blues no more.

Boll Weevils, yeah, Boll Weevils everywhere you go.

I'm a lone Boll Weevil, been out a great long time.

I'm a lone Boll Weevil, been out a great long time.

Gonna sing this song to ease Boll Weevil's troubled mind.

I

don't want no sugar

put into my tea.

I don't want no sugar put into my tea.

Them limbs are so evil, I'm scared they might poison

me. I went downtown, I bought myself a hat. I brought it back home,

I laid it on the shelf. I looked in my bed, I'm tired sleepin' by myself.

I'm tired

sleepin' by myself
