[Verse]
Boll weevil told the farmer
"You better treat me right
I'll eat up all of your cotton
Sleep in your grain rail tonight"

[Verse 2]
Boll weevil told the farmer
"You don't need no Ford machine
I'll eat up all of your cotton
Can't buy no gasoline"

[Verse 3]
Yonder comes the spider
Crawled up and down the wall
He must've been going
To get his hash's haul

[Verse 4]
I don't see no water
But I'm about to drown
I don't see no fire
But I'm burning down
