BO WEEVIL
Fats Domino


On Saturday night where I was born
Down on the farm
Guitar plinkin' and we started drinkin'
'Til the break of dawn

About 12 o'clock
Everything get hot
Up steps old John
We started clappin
And he started singin'
This sweet little country song

Bo Weevil Bo Weevil
Where've you been all day
Yo mama been lookin'
Had to stop cookin'
Since you went away

Bo Weevil Bo Weevil
Why did you go and stay
You get a lickin'
As sure as I'm seated
On a bale of hay

On a bale of hay

Bo Weevil Bo Weevil
Where've you been all day
Mama been lookin'
Had to stop cookin'
Since you went away

Bo Weevil Bo Weevil
Why'd you go and stay
Mama gonna whip you
As sure as I'm sittin'
On this bale of hay
