My US History professor sang this to us yesterday in class. It was great; he's this small, sweet old man.

Song's by Tex Ritter bring back great memories of my childhood in Oklahoma. He was one of my favorite movie cowboy's.

I Listened To The Texas Ridder Sing The Boll Weevil Song On An LP When He Was Old. Great To See That A Video Version Exists.

@StoicKitty I think my Dad had that album. It Was great. I liked Ritter's version on that album better than the one here, though this one's good too. It had some marvelous songs, and his deep, rolling baritone was perfect for them

I love this song! And this video is so funny =) it really makes me laugh. It's sad that this only has 841 views... people nowdays.

I remember my grandpa singing this song to me when I was only five or so (I'm sixty now). He told me the story of the boll weevil and the farmers. There is a monument of the boll weevil located in the middle of Enterprise, Alabama. I finally saw that monument a few years ago. Amazing the destruction to crops and hearts that little bug did.

@HiWayLady49 Yeah, my dad says it's kinda funny how we could put a man on the moon but we couldn't stop a little bug.
