T'was one evening last October, when I was about one third sober. I was walking down our street with manly pride, when my poor feet began to stutter, so I laid me down in t' gutter and a pig came up, and lay down by my side. We sung some songs together, 'Rock Around the Clock', and 'Stormy Weather' 'till a lady passing by was heard to say, "You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses!" And the pig got up and slowly walked away. |

12 Dec 07 - 03:28 PM (#2214007) Subject: RE: the last line what's the rest? - pig song From: Art Thieme Mark, hello. Fred got it from Gibson like I did. The other pig songs: (also from Bob Gibson singing under the name of "Samuel Hall") There was an old woman who loved a swine, Honey, said she, Piggy dear, wilt thou be mine? SNORT---says he. Piggy I love no one but you, honey said she To you my pig. I'll always be true. SNORT---says he. I build for you a silver box. Honey, said she, I'll put in it some argyle socks, SNORT---says he! (THEN I'd mention: "Kids, this is a SNORT ALONG SONG about a woman who fell in love with a PIG! Kids all laugh. --- Then I'd say, "Just wait until you grow up. You'll see it happens every day!"----And then all the teachers laugh quite hard!!!) The other pig song in the trilogy was the song from Sam Hinton I always felt was about ecology in that it shows how, in earlier times on the farm, they had to USE UP all of the pig! What shall we do with the old sow's feet? Make a good sauce for anyone to eat. Sauce from the feet or any such thing, The old sow caught the measles and she died in the spring. What shall we do with the old sow's squeal? That we can neither see nor feel, With that we can't do one dam thing, The old sow took the measles and she died in the spring. ...the sow's insides? Make a big batch of sausage hides. ....old sow's tail? ...a good ol' whip or a bar for the flail. and so on... Art Thieme |

12 Dec 07 - 04:58 PM (#2214080) Subject: RE: the last line what's the rest? - pig song From: Stringsinger "There once was a sow who had three little pigs. Three little piggies had she. The oldest would always go "(snort, snort snort) and the youngest went "Wee wee wee!" Now these little piggies they upped and died. A very sad sight to see. So don't ever always go (snort, snort, snort) When you ought to go "Wee wee wee." Moral: don't grow up too fast. Or don't run before you can walk. Guy Carawan used to sing this in concert.
