This is the version of the song done by Buffy Ste. Marie, and yes, it is a jaw harp she is playing on the recording GROUNDHOG Groundhog, groundhog What makes your back so brown? I've been living in the ground for so darn long, It's a wonder I don't drown, drown. It's a wonder I don't drown. Red bird, red bird What makes your head so red? I've been picking your corn for so darn long, It's a wonder I ain't dead, dead. It's a wonder I ain't dead. Rattlesnake, rattlesnake What makes your teeth so white? I been lyin' in the sun for so darn long, You're lucky I don't bite, bite. You're lucky I don't bite. Muskrat, muskrat What makes you smell so bad? I've been living in the ground for so darn long, I'm mortified in my head, head. I'm mortified in my head.
