Bo Weevil    (1956)

On Saturday night, where I was born, down on the farm
Guitar plinking and we started singing 'til the break of dawn
About twelve o'clock ev'rything gets hot, up steps Paul Jones
We started clappin' and he started singin' a sweet little country song

Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil, where've you been all day?
Your momma's been lookin', hasn't stopped lookin' since you went away
Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil, why did you go and stay?
You'll get a lickin', as sure as I'm sittin' on this bale of hay

Bo Weevil, Weevil
Do do, do do, do do
Bo Weevil, Weevil
Do do, do do, do

On Saturday night, where I was born, down on the farm
Guitar plinking and we started singing 'til the break of dawn
About twelve o'clock ev'rything gets hot, up steps Paul Jones
We started clappin' and he started singin' a sweet little country song

Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil, where've you been all day?
Your momma's been lookin', hasn't stopped lookin' since you went away
Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil, why did you go and stay?
You'll get a lickin', as sure as I'm sittin' on this bale of hay

Bo Weevil, Weevil
Do do, do do, do do
Bo Weevil, Weevil
Do do, do do, do

Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil, where've you been all day?
Your momma's been lookin', hasn't stopped lookin' since you went away
Bo Weevil, Bo Weevil, why did you go and stay?
You'll get a lickin', as sure as I'm sittin' on this bale of hay

Please come back some day
