Songtext von Black Skunk Blues

I caught a pretty little animal : it was striped black and white What it done to me : spoiled me the rest of my life I thought it was a squirrel : I took him into my camp When I put him down : all my clothes was damp All the people around me : they give me plenty of air It was so doggone strong : I sniffled it everywhere I never smelled a smell : that smelled so doggone bad It was the worst old smell : baby I ever had I jumped into the water : I scrubbed scrubbed scrubbed scrubbed But I smelled stronger : baby the harder I rubbed It was a doggone polecat : and he [sure] ain't no friend of mine He as pretty as a white dog : but he ain't worth a doggone dime
