The Almanac Singers — Ground Hog lyrics

Lyrics

The meat’ll do to eat and the hide’ll do to wear, groundhog!
Skin him out and tan his hide, (repeat)
Best dern shoestrings ever I tried, groundhog!
The children scream, the children cry, (repeat)
They love that groundhog cooked and fried, groundhog!
I love my groundhog stewed and fried, (repeat)
Little piece of cornbread by the side, groundhog!
Up steps Sal with a snigger and a grin, (repeat)
Groundhog grease all over her chin, groundhog!
Hello, mama, make Sam quit, (repeat)
He’s eatin' all the hog and don’t leave me a bit, groundhog!
Hello, boys, ain’t it a sin! (repeat)
Watch that gravy run down Sam’s chin, groundhog!
Watch him boys, he’s about to fall, (repeat)
He’s et till his pants won’t button at all, groundhog!
