Groundhog - Buffy Sainte-Marie

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
