Well, I`m that walkin` ground hog
Mama, an I walks through `round in my den
Now, I`m that walkin` ground hog
Mama, an I walks around in my den
Now, an if I come out `n see my shadow
John, I believe I`ll go back in
Now, an I want some feedin` mama, you hear
So I can hear her high sound
If you don`t feed me, baby
I believe I`ll go back in the ground
Because I`m that walkin` ground hog
Mama an I walks through `round in my den
Now, if I come out `n see my shadow
You say you don`t love me
I believe I`ll go back in
Now, an I wanna hear some swingin` music
I wanna hear a Fats Waller sound, yeah
Now, if I start to Jitterbuggin`
I will leave my hole down in the ground
Because I`m just a-walkin` groundhog
Man, an I walks through `round 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
(harmonica & instrumental)
Ah, you know, I`m goin` walk a while`d
Now, an I need some pettin`, baby
Baby, you know what I mean
Now, if a-you don`t pet me, baby
I believe I`ll go back down in New Orleans
Because I`m that walkin` groundhog
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.
