Lyrics Old Bangum - Jean Ritchie

Old Bangum

Bangum rid by the riverside
Dillum down dillum
Three young ladies there he spied
Dillum down dillum
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn
There’s a wild boar in these woods
Who’ll eat his meat, 'll suck his blood
If you would this wild boar see
Blow a blast, he’ll come to thee
Slapped the horn into his mouth
Blew a blast both North and South
Wild boar come in such a rush
Split his way through oak and ash
Fit four hours by the day
At last the wild boar run away
Old Bangum follered him to his den
Saw the bones of a thousand men
