about

Groundhog
Traditional American

lyrics

Groundhog, oh groundhog, what makes your back so brown?
Well, I've been living in the ground so darn long
It's a wonder I don't drown, drown
It's a wonder I don't drown

And muskrat, oh muskrat, what makes you smell so bad?
Oh, I've been livin' in the mud so darn long
It's a mortified in my head, head
It's a mortified in my head

And red bird, oh red bird, what makes your head so red?
Well, I've been eating this corn so darn long
It's a wonder I ain't dead, dead
It's a wonder I ain't dead

And rattlesnake, oh rattlesnake, what makes your teeth so white
Well, I've been layin' in the sun so darn long
It's a wonder I don't bite, bite
It's a wonder I don't bite

Groundhog, oh groundhog, what makes your back so brown?
Well, I've been living in the ground so darn long
It's a wonder I don't drown, drown
It's a wonder I don't drown
