GUEST,Dot Callery Lyr Add: Wild Hog in the Woods (15) RE: Lyr Add: Wild Hog in the Woods 19 Feb 14


I started singing the Reed Island Rounders version of this song a few years ago when I was learning clawhammer banjo and I loved the way Diane Jones played. Having tried numerous avenues over the years I still haven't been able to find the missing words to the last two verses. I thought this version came from Nimrod Workman but his lyrics are also different.

The verses go:

They fought 9 hours on that day (2)
'Til the wild hog bled his .... ....? sounds like 'salt away'?

Bangum did you win or lose? (2)
He swore by god he wore .... .....? sounds like 'wore them shoes'?

Anyone know the missing words? Thanks!
