Hey, boll weevil Don't sing them blues no more Hey, hey, boll weevil Don't sing them blues no more Boll weevil's here, boll weevil's everywhere you go I'm a lone boll weevil Been out a good long time I'm a lone boll weevil Been out a good long time I'm gonna sing this tune to ease a boll weevil's lonesome mind I don't want no man To put no sugar in my tea I don't want no man To put no sugar in my tea Some of them are so evil, I'm 'fraid they might poison me I went downtown I bought me a hat I brought it back home I laid it on the shelf Looked at my bed I'm gettin' tired of sleeping by myself
