The Boll Weevil Song - Brook Benton (布鲁克·本顿)[00:00:00]
Let me tell ya a story about a boll weevil[00:00:10]
Now some of you may not know[00:00:14]
But a boll weevil is an insect[00:00:17]
And he's found mostly where cotton grows[00:00:21]
Now where he comes from hm nobody really knows[00:00:25]
But this is way the the story goes[00:00:32]
The farmer said to the boll weevil[00:00:39]
I see you're on the square[00:00:42]
Boll weevil said to the farmer[00:00:46]
Say yep my whole darn family's here[00:00:48]

The weevil just laughed at the farmer 'n' said[00:01:08]
We ain't gonna do ya much harm[00:01:11]
We looking have a home[00:01:13]
And the boll weevil spotted a lightning bug[00:01:22]
