Mississippi Boll Weevil (Live)

He sees a little boweevil

Sees him movin' in the, Lordie, yeah

Well, you can plant your cotton

But you won't get a half a bale, mama, yeah

Boweevil, boweevil

Where's your native home, mama, yeah?

Boweevil, boweevil

Where's your native home, mama, yeah?

The next time I seen him, Lord

He had his family there, mama, yeah

He sucks all your blossom and leaves

Your hedges square, mama, yeah

Boweevil, boweevil

Won't you treat me fair, mama, yeah?

Boweevil, boweevil

Got a one way ticket there, mama, yeah

Goin' down next year

Gonna give Karachi hell, mama, yeah

Well, you can cage them all in

But his friends are everywhere, Lordie, yeah

Keep movin', keep movin'

Boweevil is already there, mama, yeah

Next time he's here

Rent a package in Leicester Square, mama, yeah

Join me in good living

And where has it been goin', mama, yeah

Start wheezing, stop breathing

And where's this powder from, mama, yeah

Go faster, go faster

Man'll beat him a hundred fold, mama, yeah
