Lyrics Groundhog - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Groundhog

Groundhog, groundhog
What makes your back so brown?
I’ve been living in the ground for so darn long
It’s a wonder I don’t drown, drown
It’s a wonder I don’t drown
Redbird, redbird
What makes your head so red?
I’ve been picking your corn for so darn long
It’s a wonder I ain’t dead, dead
It’s a wonder I ain’t dead
Rattlesnake, rattlesnake
What makes your teeth so white?
I been settin' in the sun for so darn long
You’re lucky I don’t bite, bite
You’re lucky I don’t bite
Muskrat, muskrat
What makes you smell so bad?
I’ve been livin' in the ground for so darn long
I’m mortified in my head, head
I’m mortified in my head
