Ground Hog Rootin` In My Backyard (blue Yodel No.10) Lyrics

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
