Lil' Son Jackson (Melvin Jackson)
recording of Summer 1960, Dallas, Texas
from
Blues Come To Texas (Arhoolie 409)
Well, now, listen, listen people, what the Lil' Son gonna say,
I believe tomorrow gonna be groundhog day
There's a groundhog groove, oh, Lord, grooving in my buddy's back yard
Well, now, there ain't nothing in the world can stop him,
oh, Lord, but the ground gonna get real hard
Oh, if I catch a hog in my yard, I tell you what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna cut his head about four ways and my old woman's, too
If I catch a hog in my yard, oh, Lord, fooling 'round in my back door
Yes, I bet my last bottom dollar, oh, peoples, he don't groove no more
Well, there's a groundhog for tomorrow, groundhog for the next day, too,
well, there's a groundhog 'cross the country, partner, you don't know what he's going to do
There's a groundhog groove, oh, man, grooving in your back yard
Well, now, there ain't nothing in the world can stop him,
oh, Lord, but the ground gonna get real hard
I catch a hog in my yard, just a while 'fore day,
I'm gonna get my shotgun, man, and drive him away
If I catch a hog in my yard, oh, man, just a while 'fore day
I'm gonna get my double-barreled shotgun, oh yeah, and drive that mule away
Here is the table of contents.
