Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pigmeat (Leadbelly)
Subject: Pigmeat revisited
Does anyone have an accurate transcription of the words to Lead Belly's "Pigmeat": and the translation! Where does the song come from? I've seen one line given as "take a pole and try it" and "...cold from china" is two separtate collections, although I think it's referring to a breed of pig or something. Any ideas? Dr John.
