about

“Crosseyed Gopher” by Andy Furgeson, 2015. Inspired by the folk tune “Cross-eyed Gopher,” published in Ruth Crawford Seeger’s Animal Folk Songs for Children (1950).

lyrics

Hey, cross-eyed gopher
Tickle his ribs and he’ll turn over
Hey, cross-eyed gopher
Tickle his ribs and he’ll turn over
Oh hey, cross-eyed gopher
Please pray your time ain’t over

Hey, buckeye rabbit
Anything you want you up and grab it
Hey, buckeye rabbit
Anything you want you up and grab it
Oh hey, buckeye rabbit
Someday you’ll kick that habit

Hey, sad-eyed hound dog
Took him to the woods
And he killed a groundhog
Hey, sad-eyed hound dog
Took him to the woods
And he killed a groundhog
Oh hey, sad-eyed hound dog
Please stay, you lost and found dog

Hey, one-eyed Jack
Lost my luck won’t you bring it back now
Hey, one-eyed Jack
Lost my luck won’t you bring it back now
Oh Jack, I ain’t joking
I’m cracked but I ain’t broken

Hey, cross-eyed gopher
Keep on laughing until it’s over
Hey, buckeye rabbit
I’m gonna help you kick that habit
Hey, sad-eyed hound dog
Say a little prayer while I bury this groundhog
Hey, one-eyed Jack
I think I feel my luck just bubbling back
Hey, cross-eyed gopher
Please pray your time ain’t over

Hey, cross-eyed gopher
Tickle his ribs and he’ll turn over
