Unknown guitarist in G position, standard tuning and unknown pianist

I went to my merchant, I asked him for some meat and meal
Lord, I went to my merchant, I asked him for some meat and meal
And he said, "Go 'way from me farmer, you've got boll weevils in your field."

Boll weevil, boll weevil, you know you didn't treat me right
Boll weevil, boll weevil, you know you didn't treat me right
You at my cotton in the daytime and you at my corn at night

There ain't but the one thing will turn a boll weevil down
There ain't but the one thing will turn a boll weevil down
That's a sweet potato, it's growin' way down in the ground

Boll weevil told the farmer, 'You can ride 'round in your Ford machine."
Boll weevil told the farmer, "You can ride 'round in your Ford machine.
But when I get through with your cotton, you can't buy gasoline."

Boll weevil took a circle, went all the way 'round the moon
Boll weevil took a circle, went all the way 'round the moon
And he told all the farmers, "Now, I won't be back 'til June."
