Groundhog blues



Hunt up the matting, whistle up the dog
Hunt up the matting, whistle up the dog
Going to the new ground to get a groundhog
Groundhog, groundhog, groundhog, groundhog



I dug down and it wasn't very deep
I dug down and it wasn't very deep
There laid a whistle-pig sound asleep
Groundhog, groundhog, groundhog, groundhog



I took me a pole and I twist him out
I took me a pole and I twist him out
Good gracious alive, ain't a groundhog stout !
Groundhog, groundhog, groundhog, groundhog



I took him home and I tanned his hide
I took him home and I tanned his hide
He made the best shoe-strings ever was tied
Groudhog, groundhog, groundhog, groundhog



I cut him up and put him on to bile
I cut him up and put him on to bile
Good gracious alive, you could smell him for a mile
Groundhog, groundhog, groundhog, groundhog
