Mississippi Boll Weevil Lyrics


North Mississippi Allstars Mississippi Boll Weevil


The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!
Louisiana lived, in Texas where I was bred and born, Lordie
Bollweevil, bollweevil, say where's your native home? Lordie
Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn, Lordie

Bollweevil left Texas, Lord, he bid me "fare ye well", Lordie
Down the Mississippi, gonna give Louisiana hell, Lordie
Well, I saw the bollweevil a-circle in the air, Lordie
The next time I seed him, Lord, he had his family there, Lordie

The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!
Most anywhere they raise cotton and corn, Lordie
(spoken: Play)

Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippi, Mississippi
Mississippi, Mississippi
The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!
The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie!
The Mississippi bollweevil ain't got no natural home, Lordie, Lord!
