i Oh, concerning of some gentlemen who lived down below, They follered hog-stealin' wherever they did go. Oh, sometimes they had bacon, and sometimes none. They mounted on their horses, and they shouldered up their guns.
2 Straightway to the Harricane,* straightway they did steer, To skeer up the wild hogs and run out the deer.
Oh, when they got there they listened awhile, Looking at each other, beginning to smile.
3 They said, "It's the old spotted sow and the blue listed boar, The very same hogs we fought t here before."
Oh, the old spotted creature was a-lying in her bed, She heard every word the damned villyans said.
4 Oh, the old spotted sow made a leap for to run, She soon was stopped by the cracking of a gun.
They blew for old Trimble Foot very loud and shrill, He overtook the boar at the foot of the hill.
5 If you don't believe me, they're guilty of a heap, They stole nine head of Wash Morgan's sheep. You remember last Wednesday before,
From old Billy Sachs took a half a dozen more.
6 Oh, trouble and vexation wherever you may be, Trouble and vexation wherever you shall see.
Oh, the whips begin to crack and the pigs begin to squeal, Up come Bob and Stokes a-walking on their heels.
* Harricane or Hurricane Creek, Leslie County, Kentucky, f Pronounced to rhyme with "spout." |
