Chipmunk Song

Chipmunk Song


Chipmunk workin' in the roadside weeds
Lookin' all around for nuts and seeds
Small bird callin' from a hickory tree
All's right with the world and all's right with me

Chipmunk searchin' for nuts and seeds
Lucky fellow finds all he needs
As for me all I desire
Is a lovin' man and a nice warm fire

Hickory nut
Hickory nut
Life's as hard as a hickory nut
Mama worked hard night and day
Raised six kids on a farmer's pay
Hickory nut
Hickory nut
Life's as hard as a hickory nut

Chipmunk's found a hickory nut
Happy fellow's gonna fill his gut
As for me I'm all alone
Got an empty bed and empty home
Mama said to be a wife
If you want to have a happy life
Lookin' for a man to marry me
Can't find one in Tennessee
