Although many songs about the boll weevil were recorded by blues musicians during the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this one has become well known, thanks perhaps to Lead Belly's rendition of it as recorded by folklorist Alan Lomax in 1934. A 1961 adaptation by Brook Benton became a pop hit, reaching number two on the charts.
