lyrics

There’s a wild hog in this mountain cue can com, cue can com,
There’s a wild hog in this mountain cue can com,
There’s a wild hog in this mountain, a wild hog in this mountain,
Saying, kill him, won’t you kill him, cue cum com, cue can com?
Kill him, won’t you kill him, cue cum com?

Chased that wild hog to his den…
There lay the bones of a thousand men.

Chased that wild hog to his den…
Out with my knife and I begin to skin.
