Rootin' Ground Hog

Rootin' Ground Hog - Sonny Boy Williamson

Mama I'm the rooting ground hog

An I root both nights and days

Yes I'm the rooting ground hog baby

And I root both nights and days

I want some good looking mama to come here now

Please to hurry these blues away

I went home last night babe

Just about the break a day

I have to grab the pillow

Where my baby used to lay

I'm a rooting ground hog

You might need me some sweet day

Better look before Joe done lower'd

Yoo hoo way I love you be so fer away

Lee's up

I'm a rooting ground hog

And I roots ev'rywhere I go

'Play it on me boy play it

I'm a rooting ground hog babe

Roots ev'rywhere I go

I'm tryin' to keep my woman taking my love an

She handed out candy to Mr. So and So

Let me tell you now woman

Just before I go

Gimme back my money

I'll catch a train and go

I'm a rooting ground hog

Yeah an I'll root ev'rywhere I go

Well my baby had a nerve to tell me

That she didn't want me no mo'

I'm leavin' Chicago

Ain't gonna leave my babe no mo'

Play it on now boys

I'm leavin' Chicago yoo ooo

I ain't gonna leave my babe no mo'

I'm that good rooting ground hog

I got a home anywhere I go

Drive over this mo'nin'

I looked down the line

Couldn't hear nothing but my

Freight train cryin'

I'm a rooting ground hog

Roots both nights an days

I want some good looking mama to come 'ere

Please drives these blues away
