On Saturday night
Where I was born
Down on the farm
Guitar plinkin' 
And we started singin'
Till the break of dawn

About twelve o'clock 
Everything gets hot
Up steps Bob Jones
We started clappin' 
And he started singin'
Sweet little country songs

Boll Weevil, Boll Weevil
Where ya been all day
Your Mama's been lookin'
Hasn't stopped lookin'
Since you went away

Boll Weevil, Boll Weevil
Why did you go and stay
You'll get a whippin'
As sure as I'm sittin'
On this bale of hay

(Boll Weevil, Weevil)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Boll Weevil, Weevil)
Do-do-do-do-do)

Please Come back some day
