WILD HOG IN THE WOODS Traditional
There is a wild hog in yonder's woods Diddle-oh-Down, Diddle-oh-day There is a wild hog in yonder's woods Diddle-oh-down today There is a wild hog in yonder's woods That eats men and sucks their blood Kill him now, cut him down Catch him if you can
There comes a wild hog through yonders mash Diddle-oh-Down, Diddle-oh-day There comes a wild hog through yonders mash Diddle-oh-down today There comes a wild hog through yonders mash Splitting his way through the oak and ash Kill him now, cut him down Catch him if you can
We followed that wild hog day and night Diddle-oh-Down, Diddle-oh-day We followed that wild hog day and night Diddle-oh-down today We followed that wild hog day and night Swore we'd make that wild hog fight Kill him now, cut him down Catch him if you can
We followed that wild hog to his den Diddle-oh-Down, Diddle-oh-day We followed that wild hog to his den Diddle-oh-down today We followed that wild hog to his den Found the bones of a thousand men Kill him now, cut him down Catch him if you can
We killed that hog with sticks and knives Diddle-oh-Down, Diddle-oh-day We killed that hog with sticks and knives Diddle-oh-down today We killed that hog with sticks and knives Swore we'd take that wild hog's life Kill him now, cut him down Catch him if you can
There is a wild hog in yonder's woods Diddle-oh-Down, Diddle-oh-day There is a wild hog in yonder's woods Diddle-oh-down today There is a wild hog in yonder's woods That eats men and sucks their blood Kill him now, cut him down Catch him if you can
and these are the lyrics from the web page that i put a link to where there is a sound file and a printed version of the music. It starts and ends on a "B" note and has two flats, Bb and Eb. I think that means it is in the key of b flat?
VERSE 1 There's a wild hog in these woods Kim-a-li-kee, quital-li-quaw There's a wild hog in those woods Kim-a-li-kee, quaw There's a wild hog in those woods They'll kill ya an' suck your blood Kim-a-li-kee, quital-li-qee, quaw
VERSE 2 I rode around that wild hog's den Kim-a-li-kee, quital-li-quaw Rode around that wild hog's den Kim-a-li-kee, quaw Rode around that wild hog's den Spied th bones of a thousand men Kim-a-li-kee, quital-li-qee, quaw
