WHOSE PIGS ARE THESE
(anon)


Whose pigs are these
Whose pigs are these
Oh they are Tom Pott's
I can tell 'em by the spots
And I found them in the vicarage garden


Whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs are these?
They are Geoff Potter's
And I know them by their trotters
And I found them in the vicarage garden..


Whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs are these?
They are Bill Spear's
And I know them by their ears
And I found them in the vicarage garden


Whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs are these?
The are Sally Dale's
And I know them by their tails
And I found them in the vicarage garden


Whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs are these?
They are Farmer Hunt's
And I know them by their....grunts..
And I found them in the vicarage garden
(NHJ)

Grunts is obviously only one possible version of the rhyme!


Optional verse:


Whose sheep are these?
Whose sheep are these?
They are old jack gaughn's
I can tell em by their horns
And I found them in the vicarage garden (EJ)


This is often sung as a round, as remembered by several respondants
