GUEST,Dan Watt I've got me a pig and I've got me a hog (8) I've got me a pig and I've got me a hog 13 Feb 08


Can anyone give me a source, a recording, or music and lyrics to a song about an escaped or freed slave, with the chorus (as I recall)

"I'll dance me a jig and I'll dance me a jog
cause I've got me a pig and I've got me a hog
ain't no one gonna take 'em from me
c'mon jeff davis, git along general lee"

I learned it in camp when I was a child. I suspect it was in one of the early "people's songbooks" but I can't find it?
