"Ground Hog Blues" lyrics - DR. JOHN

DR. JOHN
"Ground Hog Blues"

Just a low down dog
A dirty ground hog
Been rootin' round my back door

And if I catch him rootin' now man
Lord he won't root there no more
Yes he stand and he watch me
Every morning when I leave home
Yes he stand and he watch me
A-morning when I leave home
Then when I leave home in the morning
Yes he hangs around all day long

Give me some toad and rose hips I'm gonna
Gonna put it all together
Gonna mix it up together
Gonna whip it all up good I'm gonna
Gonna kill that ole dirty ground hog

I betcha my bottom dollar then man he
He won't root there no more

Naw, he ain't gonna root no more then

I said goodbye baby
Lord I'm leaving you now
I said goodbye baby
Lord I'm leaving you now
I done did what I wanted and
Killed that old dirty ground hog

Yes he's through!
