An Old Song (continued)
“Here is an old song that was made”
(continued from previous page)they could seek.
And crammed them into the heart the reek.
Up steps John Henry and him whistling a jig,
He says Mr. Mac I will show you my pig.
the pig she's a beauty and every-mans taste.
She marked all over with blue and slim in the waist.
i sent for the butcher a few days ago to draw the pigs blood but it would not flow.
And we Jerry Kiggans tells me she's only seven stone.By Mary McPartlin
