Subject: ADD: Muskrat
Well, Vixen, there's only one verse in Animal Folk Songs for Children (Ruth Crawford Seeger, 1950):
Muskrat, muskrat, doggone* your daddy's soul!
You cut my corn in the summertime,
And you drag it in your hole
Drag it in your hole.

*The notes say: "Even traditional singers sometimes substitute "God bless" for dog-gone!"
