Woke up this morning, woke up this morning
Heard somebody callin' me
Woke up this morning, heard somebody callin' me
It must have been the Mama Weaver that we call the Stingaree
Bo weevil here, bo weevil there, bo weevil everywhere
Bo weevil here, bo weevil everywhere
I looked in my meal barrel, I found bo weevil there
First time I seen bo weevil, first time I seen him
He's on a cotton square
First time I saw him, he's on a cotton square
And next time I saw him, he moved his whole family there
So the farmer took bo weevil, he took bo weevil
Put him in a frying pan
He took bo weevil, put him in a frying pan
Bo weevil, he told the farmer, "You treatin' me like a natural man"
So, he took bo weevil, he took bo weevil
Put him in a block of ice
He took bo weevil, put him in a block of ice
So bo weevil, he told the farmer, "I think you treat me very nice"
Bo weevil here, bo weevil there, bo weevil everywhere
Bo weevil here, bo weevil everywhere
I looked in my meal barrel, I found bo weevil there
Farmer asked the merchant, he asked the merchant
"How 'bout some meat and meal?"
He asked the merchant, "How 'bout some meat and meal?"
He said, "Get away from here, farmer
You got bo weevils in your field"
Bo weevil here, bo weevil there, bo weevil everywhere
Bo weevil here, bo weevil everywhere
I looked in my cotton patch, I found bo weevil there
Bo weevil told the farmer, he told the farmer
"You can ride your Ford machine"
He told the farmer, "You can ride your Ford machine
When I get through with your cotton patch, you can even buy gasoline"
