I caught a pretty little animal
It was striped black and white
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
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
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
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
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
