Boll Weevil by Babe Stovall

Babe Stovall - Boll Weevil; Babe Stovall, vocals and guitar in G position, standard tuning.

INTRO SOLO

First heard tell of boll weevil, twenty-third of June
Looked over in my cotton field, he was sittin' in a cotton bloom
He had a home, in the cotton bloom

SOLO

Went to the merchant, asked him what he think of that:
I found a boll weevil in my Sunday hat
He had a home, in the cotton bloom

SOLO

Went to the merchant, asked him for a-meal and a mule
"You go home, old nigger, the boll weevil's in your field.
You go home, and let me alone."

SOLO X 2

Went down to the brier patch, heard a great racket
Nothin' but a bull frog, pullin' off his jacket
(Guitar concludes verse)
