Ground Hog Rootin' In My Backyard (blue Yodel No.10) Lyrics - Hank Snow

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
