Whet up your knife and whistle up the dog

Whet up your knife and whistle up the dog

We’re going to the hollow for to catch a ground hawg

Ground hawg

Too many rocks and too many logs

Too many rocks and too many logs

To many rocks for to catch a ground hawg

Up come Barry with a ten-foot pole

Up come Barry with a ten-foot pole

Pushed it down that ground hawg hole

Ground hawg

Took him home and tanned his hide

Took him home and tanned his hide

Made the best shoe strings you’ve ever tied

Old lame Sal came skipping to the hall

Got enough whistle they could feed ‘em all

Meat in the cupboard and hide on the churn

That ain’t ground hawg I’ll be durned
