Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Sow Song (Suzanna's a Funicle Man)
My mum in 90 and has always entertained the family and others with her version of the "Piggies Song" handed to her by her grandmother. She comes from the NE of Scotland.
Her version is as follows:
The auld sow lies on her backside bare
Bare (Grunt)(Whistle) (Rasp)
Shi Dant Ickal Dah
Oh my faither he was a fine young man
Man (Grunt)(Whistle) (Rasp)
Shi Dant Ickal Dah
The piggies are made of the finest of bacon
Bacon (Grunt)(Whistle) (Rasp)
Shi Dant Ickal Dah
The piggies they lie on the finest of straw
Straw (Grunt)(Whistle) (Rasp)
Shi Dant Ickal Dah
