Groundhog Lyrics by Doc Watson

The Essential Doc Watson

0

Shoulder up your gun, and whistle up your dog
Shoulder up your gun, and whistle up your dog
Off to the woods for to catch a groundhog
Oh, groundhog!

Run here, Sally, with a ten-foot pole
Run here, Sally, with a ten-foot pole
To twist this whistle-pig out of his hole
Oh, groundhog!

Here comes Sal with a snigger and a grin
Here comes Sal with a snigger and a grin
The groundhog gravy all over her chin
Oh, groundhog!

Now, look out, fellas, I done gone wild
Look out, fellas, I'm a-goin' wild
Gonna eat that hog before he strikes a boil
Oh, groundhog!

Ya eat up the meat and save the hide
Eat up the meat and ya save the hide
The best durn shoestring that ever was tied
Oh, groundhog!

There's meat in the cupboard and butter in the churn
Meat's in the cupboard and the butter's in the churn
If that ain't groundhog, I'll be durned
Oh, groundhog!

Look out boys, they're about to fall
Watch them fellas, they're about to fall
They eat till their britches won't button at all
Oh, groundhog!

There's a little piece of cornbread a-layin' on the shelf
Little piece of cornbread a-layin' on the shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself
Oh, groundhog!
