Hog Killin' Time

Chorus:
Fatten up pig, fatten up now, don't you be mistaken
Come a hard frost hog killin' time, good sausage ham and bacon

November is that time of year, frost is on the vine
Fat ol' sow be ready now come hog killin' time

Chorus

Boil that big iron kettle hot, scald and scrape that hide
Big ol' boar fill up our store come hog killin' time

Chorus

Trim the fat and salt that meat, grind that sausage good
Big ol' swine will taste so fine come hog killin' time

Chorus

Stir the lard with a wooden spoon, smell that smokin' hick'ry
We'll all be fed on cracklin' bread come hog killin' time

Chorus
