THE WOMAN AND HER PIG

I went to market and bought me a pig
But pig wouldn't goo.
Pig has four legs I had but two.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further, and found me a dog.
Dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a stick.
Stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a fire.
Fire wouldn't burn stick; stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me some water.
Water wouldn't quench fire; fire wouldn't burn stick; stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me an ox.
Ox wouldn't drink water; water wouldn't quench fire; fire wouldn't burn stick; stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a butcher.
Butcher wouldn't kill ox; ox wouldn't drink water; water wouldn't quench fire; fire wouldn't burn stick; stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a rope.
Rope wouldn't hang butcher; butcher wouldn't kill ox; ox wouldn't drink water; water wouldn't quench fire; fire wouldn't burn stick; stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a rat.
Rat wouldn't gnaw rope; rope wouldn't hang butcher; butcher wouldn't kill ox; ox wouldn't drink water; water wouldn't quench fire; fire wouldn't burn stick; stick wouldn't beat dog; dog wouldn't bite pig;
Pig wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a cat.
Cat said "Say PLEASE!"
So then –
The cat began to kill the rat;
The rat began to gnaw the rope;
The rope began to hang the butcher;
The butcher began to kill the ox;
The ox began to drink the water;
The water began to quench the fire;
The fire began to burn the stick;
The stick began to beat the dog;
The dog began to bite the pig;
The pig began to go.
So it's all over now and I'm happy.
