BO WEEVIL by FATS DOMINO
Capo: 2 (to equal original key of B)
[Verse 1]
A
On Saturday night, where I was born
E
Down on the farm,
Guitars plinkin', we started drinkin'
A
Till the break of dawn
About twelve o'clock, everything got hot
E
Up steps old John,
We started clapping, he started singing
A
This sweet little country song
[Chorus]
A E
Boll Weevil, Boll Weevil, where you been all day
Momma's been lookin', hadn't stopped cookin'
A
Since you went a-way,
A E
Boll Weevil, Boll Weevil, why'd you go and stay
You'll get a lickin', sure's I'm sittin’
A
On this bale of hay
[Instrumental]
