A Liturgical Appeal to Weevil

 

1)

 

Boll weevil,

Boll weevil,

 

Castor oil

Thunder soil,

 

Oh, delirious for evil,

Boll weevil.

 

2)

 

Boll weevil,

Boll weevil,

 

Castor oil

Thunder soil,

 

How mysterious is evil,

Boll weevil.

 

3)

 

Boll weevil,

Boll weevil,

 

Castor oil

Thunder soil,

 

Oh, inure us to evil,

Boll weevil.

 

4)

 

Boll weevil,

Boll weevil,

 

Castor oil

Thunder soil,

 

Do grant us our evil,

Boll weevil.
