Boll Weevil
Traditional - Lead Belly, also by Charlie Patton, Linda Tillery

Farmer take the boll weevil
Put him in the ice
Boll weevil said to the farmer:
You treat me mighty nice

Farmer take the boll weevil
He put him in the sand
Boll weevil said to the farmer:
You’re just like a man

Man said to the old lady:
What do you think of that?
I got one of them boll weevils
Out of my Stetson hat

Farmer said to the boll weevil:
Yes, I wish you well
He said to the boll weevil:
I hope you burn in hell

Boll weevil said to the farmer:
I’m gonna swing on your gate
When I get through with your cotton
You’ll sell your Cadillac Eight

Boll weevil said to farmer:
I’m gonna treat you mean
When I got through with your cotton
You buy no gasoline
