Jiggy Jiggy Bum |
I walked out on a sagebrush hill |
Thought I’d find me a hog to kill |
I heard a big squeal and up jumped one |
I pulled my trigger and drug him home |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
Tied my rope around his feet |
Swung him up and the meal did bleed |
Middle of the night the gray wolf come |
Take his wife and family some |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
Grab my gun and run to the hill |
Standing up around the old wind mill |
I says, «Gray wolf, if you come to steal |
I’ll slit your belly and hang you by the heels» |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
«Old Mr. Ranchman,"the gray wolf said |
«My eleven little babies are starving dead» |
I said, «Gray wolf, I’m troubled myself |
'Cause I’ve got a wife and children twelve» |
And the old gray wolf made the big run |
Made me jump and I dropped my gun |
Took my gun and throwed it in the well |
Durn the old gray wolf’s soul to hell |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
Well, the old gray wolf run back to the mill |
Seen my hog a-hanging by his heels |
Filled up his belly from the puddle of blood |
Then he grabbed my hog and struck for home |
Well I tore for my house and I woke my kids |
Told my wife what the gray wolf did |
And the old lady hollered and the kids they yelled |
They lit out over the gray wolf’s trail |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
'Fore daylight we trailed him home |
In a great big cave where the batses roam |
Sent my wife and children in |
I waited outside in the northern wind |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
First out flew the gray wolf’s nose |
Then out flew its Sunday clothes |
Then out sailed its hair and hide |
And then out come my kids and wife |
Everybody had a sandwich in his hand |
Every girl had a slice of Virginia ham |
My wife had a hambone slick and long |
We slipped and slid the whole road home |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
Well we got home, jumped in bed |
Pulled the covers over our head |
We laughed at that wolf and licked the bone |
And this is the last of wild hog’s song |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
Hey piggy, run, run |
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum |
And a hey piggy, run |
