Barbecue Bob - Black Skunk Blues lyrics

I caught a pretty little animal, it was stripeded black and white I caught a pretty little animal, it was stripeded black and white What it done to me, it 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 in my camp When I put him down, all of my clothes was damp All the people around me, they give me plenty air All the people around me, they give me plenty air It was so doggone strong I sniffle it everywhere I never smelled a smell that smelled so doggone bad I never smelled a smell, honey, 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 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 star, but he ain't worth a doggone dime
