Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Pig in a Pen
Pig in a Pen
Pig in a Pen
(Stanley Brothers?)
I got a pig at home in a pen, corn to feed 'im on
All I need is a pretty little girl to feed 'im when I'm gone;
Goin' on the mountain to sow a little cane
Raise a barrel of Sorghum to sweeten old Liza Jane;
*When she sees me comin', she wrings her hands and cries
Yonder comes the sweetest boy that ever lived or died;
*Now when she sees me leavin', she wrings her hands and cries
Yonder goes the meanest boy that ever lived or died;
Black cloud's a-risin', surest sign of rain
Get the old grey bonnet on Little Liza Jane;
Yonder comes that gal of mine, how you think I know
Can tell by that Gingham gown hangin' down so low;
Bake them biscuits lady, bake 'em good 'n brown
When you get them biscuits baked, we're alabamy bound.
*Not on original recording.
Recorded by The Stanley Brothers
