Muskrat (Merle Travis Texann Hensley) Songtext
von The Everly Brothers

Muskrat, muskrat, what makes your back so slick?
I′ve been livin' in the water all o′ my life
It's wonder I ain't sick I ain′t sick, I ain′t sick, I ain't sick

Ground-hog, ground-hog, what makes your back so brown?
I′ve been livin' in the ground all o′ my life
It's a wonder I′m around, I'm around, I'm around, I′m around


Jaybird, Jaybird, what makes you fly so high?
I′ve been eatin' these acorns all o′ my life
It's a wonder I don′t die, I don't die, I don′t die, I don't die

Rooster, rooster, what makes your claws so hard?
I've been scratchin′ in the barnyard all o′ my life
It's a wonder I ain′t tired, I ain't tired, I ain′t tired, I ain't tired

Tomcat, tomcat, what makes your tail so long?
I′ve been prowling around all o' my life
It's a wonder I ain′t gone, I ain′t gone, I ain't gone, I ain′t gone
