Ground Hog Blues

Some dirty ground hog been rootin' in my back yard
Some dirty ground hog been rootin' in my back yard
And the way he roots, he sure have broke my heart

He roots ever' mornin', and he roots late at night
He roots ever' mornin', and he roots late at night
And the way my baby treats me, he must be rootin' all right

And if I see him, want to tell you what I'm goin' to do
And if I see him, I'm gonna tell you what I'm goin' to do
Gonna take my knife, cut his rooter right half in two

I knowed he was rootin', but I thought he was rootin' right straight down
I knowed he was rootin', but I thought he was rootin' right straight down
But I come to find out he was rootin' all the way around
