Alison - I found the song in the BMI Repertoire Database. It was written by Louis McManus, Anthony John David Newton and Jan Wositsky. Searching a bit further, I found all three of them as members of an Australian band called The Bushwackers. I had a look at some of their albums, but couldn't find Dick's Pig. The publishers of the song are JRT MUSIC LLC and their Email address is [e-mail] Good luck in your search.

There is a Buswackers Song Book which I bought at a used book sale about a month ago. I will check tonight to see if it is in it.

I've got a recording of it on a "Best of Bushwackers" compilation from itunes (sorry can't remember album name - it's a combination of three albums). We play it in E minor. Cheers.

Fortunately I don`t know the tune: I`d be tempted to play it in revers order (BBAA) and call it the Pig`s ....

Dick's Pig on The Session

Here is our session group member Terry Yardy playing Dick's Pig on mandolin.

Dick's Pig played by
a local Newcastle Oz band called Sligo Maid which I used to go and see a lot in my younger days and didn't even realise they were still around. I don't know what the second tune is.
