Pig In A Pen

Ricky Skaggs

<CHORUS>

G C

I got a pig at home in a pen; Corn to feed 'im on

G D7 G

All I need's a pretty little girl to feed 'im when I'm gone.

G C

Goin' on the mountain to sow a little cane

G D7 G

Raise a barrel of Sorghum, To sweeten ol' Liza Jane.

Yonder comes that gal of mine, How do you think I know

I know by that gingham gown, Hanging down so low

Dark cloud's a-risin' – surely a sign of rain

Get your gray bonnet on - Little Liza Jane.

Bake them biscuits, lady - bake 'em good n' brown

When you get them biscuits baked - we're Alabam-y bound

When she sees me comin' - she wrings her hands and cries

Yonder comes the sweetest boy - that ever lived or died.

Now, when she sees me leavin' - she wrings her hands and cries

Yonder goes the meanest boy - that ever lived or died.
