"Pig in a Pen" Lyrics

(Carter Stanley - Ralph Stanley)

I got a pig at home in a pen;
Corn to feed 'Em on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed 'Em when I'm gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Goin' on the mountain
To sow a little cane
Raise a barrel of Sorghum,
To sweeten ol' Liza Jane.

I got a pig at home in a pen;
Corn to feed 'Em on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed 'Em when I'm gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Yonder comes that gal of mine,
How do you think I know
I know by that gingham gown,
Hanging down so low.

I got a pig at home in a pen;
Corn to feed 'Em on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed 'Em when I'm gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Black cloud's arisin'
Surely a sign of rain
Get your gray bonnet on
Little Liza Jane.

I got a pig at home in a pen;
Corn to feed 'Em on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed 'Em when I'm gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Bake them biscuits, lady
Bake 'em good n' brown
When you get them biscuits baked
We're Alabamy bound.

I got a pig at home in a pen;
Corn to feed 'Em on
All I need's a pretty little girl
To feed 'Em when I'm gone...
