The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music

Boll Weevil

Boll weevil told the farmer
you'd better treat me right
I'll eat up all your cotton
sleep in your (5) grain bed to- 1 night

Boll weevil told the farmer
you'll need no Ford machine
I'll eat up all your cotton
can't buy no gasoline

I seen a spider
runnin' up and down the wall
He must've been a-goin'
to get his ashes hauled

I don't see no water
but I'm about to drown
I don't see no fire
but I'm a-burnin' down
