Groundhog Blues Lyrics

(John Lee Hooker)
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in
my den
Now I'm a walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks around in
my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow, John I believe
I'll go back in

Now I want some feedin' mama, so I can hear a high
sound
If you don't feed me baby, I believe I'll go back in
the ground
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, mama and I walks
around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow you say you don't
love me,
I believe I'll go back in

Now I wanna hear some swingin' music, I wanna hear a
Fats Waller song
Now if I start to jitter-buggin', I'm forgettin' my hole down in the ground
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, man and I walks
around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love
me,
I believe I'll go back in

Yes John, you know what I mean
Oh you know I'm a-walkin' wild

Now I need some pettin' baby, baby you know what I mean
Now if you don't pet me baby, I believe I'll go back
down in New Orleans
Because I'm that walkin' groundhog, at night I walks
around in my den
Now if I come out and see my shadow my woman don't love
me,
Yeah an' I believe I'll go back in
