Ground Hog Rootin' In My Backyard (Blue Yodel No.10)

Written by Jimmie Rodgers
Recorded by Hank Snow

Something about you mama that sure gives me the blues
Something about you mama that sure gives me the blues
It ain't your drop stich stockings it ain't your blue buckle shoes
You know pretty mama I'm bound to love you some
You know pretty mama I'm bound to love you some
Cause I've done more for you than anybody ever done you know it baby

Got me a pretty mama got me a bulldog too
Got me a pretty mama got me a bulldog too
My pretty mama don't love me but my bulldog do
[ trumpet - clarinet ]
There's been a groundhog rootin' round my yard at night
There's been a groundhog rootin' round my yard at night
For the way my mama been treatin' me he must be rootin' all right
Lord honey must be rootin' all right
Well I ain't no cheap man don't try to fool no girls
I ain't no cheap man don't try to fool no girls
It's my regular lovin' that gets me by in this world
