Whet up your axe and whistle up your dog

Whet up your axe and whistle up your dog

We're off to the woods to hunt ground hog

Ground hog

Old Joe Digger Sam and Dave

Went a-hog-huntin' hard as they could stave

Ground hog

Here comes Sam with a ten-foot pole

A-roust that ground hog outa his hole

Ground hog

Well stand back boys and let's be wise

Well stand back boys and let's be wise

I think I see his beaded eyes

Ground hog

Grab him boys and pull him out

Grab him boys and pull him out

Great Godamighty Ain't a ground hog stout

I like my ground hog stewed and fried

I like my ground hog stewed and fried

An' a little piece of corn bread by the side

Ground hog

Well the meat's in the pot and the hide's in the churn

Well the meat's in the pot and the hide's in the churn

If that ain't ground hog I'll be durned

Ground hog

Work boys work as hard as you can tear

Work boys work as hard as you can tear

The meat'll do to eat and the hide'll do to wear

Ground hog

Work boys work and scrape his hide

Work boys work and scrape his hide

Make the best darn shoe strings ever I tried

Ground hog

Goin' down the road and the road mighty muddy

Goin' down the road and the road mighty muddy

So goldarn drunk I can't stand steady

Ground hog

Up come Sal with a snigger and a grin

Up come Sal with a snigger and a grin

Ground hog grease all over her chin
