Subject: Lyr Add: THE PIG IS GREASED BEHIND
Lyr. Add: THE PIG IS GREASED BEHIND Union song sheet, U. S. Civil War
Come, listen all, ye jolly Boys; It's now I'm going to sing; I'm right from the South, boys, To make the banjo ring. For, I know you want to hear Something to please your mind; Now, we'll whip the South, boys: For, the pig is greased behind.
Jeff Davis is a traitor, boys As all of you do know; We're going to fetch him here, boys, And have a tremendous show; While Beauregard has shown his best, And tried that he might find, With all the other traitors, boys, That the pig is greased behind.
They have tried to catch it, boys; But, ah! just then it sneezed; And, though they had it then, boys, They found that it was greased; For, it walked off before their eyes, And though they tried to bind... They saw what others are, boys, That the pig was greased behind.
They hold a few things now, boys; But they are getting hot; And soon, we'll let them feel, boys, A little cold steel and shot, And there will be the D---l to pay, While something they will find; That there's Patriots in the North, boys, And the pig is greased behind.
