Groundhog

A clawhammer banjo lesson of a simple tune, in double C tuning. Here are the lyrics I sing for this tune; they're not for the squeamish! (Please note: While I’ll be leaving my old instructional videos up on YouTube, I’m very much hoping you might be willing to subscribe to me on Patreon, which is where you can access all my new instructional videos and other banjo-related content.

Pick up your gun and whistle to your dog Pick up your gun and whistle to your dog Goin’ to the holler for to catch a ground hog Oh, ground hog I dug down, but I didn’t dig deep I dug down, but I didn’t dig deep There lay the whistle-pig, fast asleep Oh, ground hog Get a pole and twist him out Get a pole and twist him out Good God-a-mighty, how the groundhog’s stout! Oh, ground hog Old Aunt Nance with her walking cane Old Aunt Nance with a walking cane Swore she’d have the ground hog’s brain Oh, ground hog Children scream and children cried Children scream and children cried They all love groundhog, b’iled or fried Here comes Sal with a snicker and a grin Here comes Sal with a snicker and a grin Ground hog juice all over her chin Oh, ground hog Eat the meat, save the hide Eat the meat and save the hide Makes the best shoestrings ever were tied Oh, ground hog A little piece of cornbread a-layin' on the shelf A little piece of cornbread a-layin' on the shelf If you want any more, you can sing it yourself Oh, ground hog
