Thanks Stewie,

I've been looking for 'When Bacon Was Scarce" and found this thread.

purely from memory.... (uh oh)


When Bacon Was Scarce

One year, one year
When bacon was scarce
And us havin' none
We saddled our horses
And shouldered our guns

(line the first)
(line the second)
To... hunt the wild hogs(?)
And drive in the deer

Well, when we first got there
We rambled awhile
Old ???? ????? ????
He began for to smile

Said these ain't the same hogs
That been here before
The ??? ??? sow
And the black-listed boar


(whole verse or two MISSING, pertinent brain cells all murdered, mid-to-late 80s)


The cowhide (?) will crack
And the waters will roar
Your back it will ache
'Til it's perfectly sore.........
