Blind Willie Mctell Boll Weevil Lyrics

Boll weevil, boll weevil, where you get your great
long bill?
"I got it from Texas, I got it from the western hills
"I got it from Texas, I got it from the western hills"

Boll weevil, he told the fireman, said "Don't you buy
no more pills.
Ain't gon' make enough money to pay your
drugstore bills.
You ain't going to make enough money to even pay
your drugstore bills"

Boll weevil, he told the farmer "Don't you plow
no more.
Ain't gonna make enough flour in your back door.
You ain't gonna make enough flour to even put in your back door"

Boll weevil, he told the farmer, "Don't buy no
Ford machine.
You ain't going to make enough money to even
buy gasoline."

Boll weevil said to the farmer, "Don't buy no
more pills.
Ain't going to make enough money to even buy
your meal.
Won't make enough money to even buy your meal"

So now, boll weevil, boll weevil where you say you
get your long bill?
"I got it from Texas, out in the western hills,
Way out in the Panhandle, out in the western hills"
