Rootin' Ground Hog

Rootin' Ground Hog - Big Joe Williams

Mama I'm the rooting ground hog

And 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 lowered

Yo hoo way I love you be so far away

Lee's up

I'm a rooting ground hog

And I roots everywhere I go

Play it on me boy play it

I'm a rooting ground hog babe

Roots everywhere I go

I'm trying to keep my woman taking my love and

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 and I'll root everywhere I go

Well my baby had a nerve to tell me

That she didn't want me no more

I'm a leaving Chicago

Ain't gonna leave my babe no more

Play It on now boys

I'm a leaving Chicago yo

I ain't gonna leave my babe no more

I'm that good rooting ground hog

I got a home anywhere I go

Drive over this morning

I look down the line

Couldn't hear nothing but my

Freight train crying

I'm the rooting ground hog

Root both nights and days

I want some good looking mama to come here

Please to hurry these blues away
