about

“Groundhog” adapted by Red Yarn from the traditional “Groun’ Hog,” as published in John & Alan Lomax’s American Ballads and Folk Songs (1934). New lyrics by Andy Furgeson, 2015.

lyrics

Shoulder up your rope and whistle up your dog
Shoulder up your rope and whistle up your dog
We’re going to the woods to catch a groundhog
Oh, groundhog!

Two in a hole and one on a log
Two in a hole and one on a log
Two for my sugar baby, one for my dog
Oh, groundhog!

Chase em down children as fast as you can
Chase em down children just as fast as you can
She finds a little tunnel and shoots right in
Oh, groundhog!

Reach on in and grab her by the tail
Reach on in and grab her by the tail
Throw that groundhog in your lunch pail
Oh, groundhog!

How the little children all whooped and cried
How the little children all whooped and cried
They love that groundhog stewed and fried
Oh groundhog!

Eat up the meat and save the hide
You eat up the meat and you save the hide
Best darn shoestring ever was tied
Oh, groundhog

Gather round children, have a little dance
Gather round children and have a little dance
Careful not to dance a hole in your pants
Oh, groundhog!

Shoulder up your rope and whistle up your dog
Shoulder up your rope and whistle up your dog
We’re going back out for more groundhog
Oh, groundhog!
Oh, groundhog!
Oh, groundhog!
