Groundhog Songtext
von 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
