Muskrat, oh, muskrat, what makes you smell so bad?
Layin’ around the farmer’s house eatin’ up all he had, eatin’ up all he had
Eatin’ up all he had, boys, eatin’ up all he had
Muskrat, oh, muskrat, I’ll track him through the sand
Muskrat, oh, muskrat, gonna catch him if I can, catch him if I can
I’ll catch him if I can, boys, I’ll catch him if I can
I found out where he’s been a-using last night
Muskrat, oh, muskrat, catch you sure as you’re born
Runnin’ around all over the field eatin’ up all my corn, eatin’ up all my corn
Eatin’ up all my corn, boys, eatin’ up all my corn
Gnawin’ on every big ear he can find
Muskrat, oh, muskrat, I’ll trap him on the bank
I’ll skin him out and stretch his hide and tack it on a plank, I’ll tack it on a plank
Tack it on a plank, boys, I’ll tack it on a plank
Muskrat, oh, muskrat, trap him on the farm
Sell the hides when they get dry to keep some pretty gal warm, to keep some pretty gal warm
Keep some pretty gal warm, boys, to keep some pretty gal warm
Muskrat, muskrat, what makes you smell so bad?
Layin’ around the farmer’s house eatin’ up all he had, eatin’ up all he had
Eatin’ up all he had, boys, eatin’ up all he had
Even been in the onion patch
