Charley Patton - Mississippi Boweavil Blues lyrics

[Charley Patton - Mississippi Boweavil Blues lyrics]

Movin' in the, Lordie!
You can plant your cotton and you
Won't get a half a bale, lordie
Bo weevil, bo weevil
Where's your native home? Lordie
"A-Louisiana raised in Texas, least is where
I was bred and born", lordie
Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord
A-circle, Lord, in the air, lordie
The next time I seed him, Lord
He had his family there, lordie
Bo weevil left Texas, Lord, he
Bid me "fare ye well", lordie

I'm goin' down the Mississippi
Gonna give Louisiana hell, lordie

Suck all the blossoms and he
Leave your hedges square, lordie
The next time I seed you, you
Know you had your family there, lordie


Bo weevil meet his wife, "We can
Sit down on the hill", lordie
Bo weevil told his wife, "Let's
Trade this forty in", lordie
Bo weevil told his wife, says, "I
Believe I may go North", lordie

"Let's leave Louisiana, we can
Go to Arkansas", lordie
Well, I saw the bo weevil, Lord
A-circle, Lord, in the air, lordie
Next time I seed him, Lord
He had his family there, lordie
Bo weevil told the farmer that
"I 'tain't got ticket fare", lordie
Sucks all the blossom and
Leave your hedges square, lordie
Bo weevil, bo weevil
Where your native home? Lordie
"Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn"
Lordie
Bo weevil, bo weevil, "Outta treat me fair"
Lordie the next time I did you
Had your family there, lordie
