Woody Guthrie Jiggy Jiggy Bum lyrics

I walked out on a sage brush hill
Thought I'd find me a hog to kill
Heard a pig squeal and up jumped one
I pulled my trigger and I 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 in the mill to bleed
Middle of the night grey 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

Grabbed my gun, run to the hill
Standing up around the old windmill
I says grey wolf if you come to steel
I'll slit your belly and hang you by the heels


Oh Mr. Ranchman, Mr. Gray wolf said
My eleven little babies are starving dead
I said grey wolf I'm troubled myself
'Cause I've got a wife and a children twelve

And the old grey wolf made the big run
Made me jump and I dropped my gun
Took my gun throwed it in the well
Turn the old grey wolf's soul to hell

Well, the old grey wolf run to the mill
Seen my hog hanging by his heel
Filled up his belly from a puddle of blood
And he grabbed my hog and struck for home

Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum
Hey, piggy, run, run
Jiggy, jiggy, bum, bum
And a hey piggy, run
