Let me tell you a story about a boll
 weevil.
                         Dm7   F
Now, some of you may not know, but a
 boll

weevil is an insect and he's found 
mostly

where cotton grows.
F                    Dm7   F
Now, where they come from, hm, 
nobody really

knows..but this is the way the story
 goes.
