filipino box spring hog

Em D
i hung on to mary’s stump , i danced with a soldier’s glee
Em D
with a rum soaked crook , and a big fat laugh , i spent my last dollar on thee
Em D
i saw bill bones , i gave him a yell , kehoe spiked the nog
Em D Em
with a chain link fence , and a scrap iron jaw , cookin up a filipino box
spring hog
D Em D Em
cookin up a filipino box spring hog , cookin up a filipino box spring hog

Em D
spider rolled in from hollister burn on a one – eyed stolen mare
Em D
donned himself with chicken fat , sawin on a jawbone violin there
Em
kathleen was sittin down in little red recovery room in her criminal
D Em
underwear bra , i was naked to the waist with my fierce black hound
D Em
and i’m cookin up a filipino box spring hog
D Em D Em
cookin up a filipino box spring hog , cookin up a filipino box spring hog

Em D
dig a big pit in a dirt alley road fill it with madrone and bay
Em D
stinks like hell and the neighbors complain , don’t give a hoot what they say
Em D
ya gotta slap that hog , roll ’em over twice , gotta baste it with a sweeping broom
Em D Em
you gotta swat them flies , and chain up the dogs , cookin up a filipino box spring hog
D Em D Em
cookin up a filipino box spring hog , cookin up a filipino box spring hog

Em D
rattle snake piccata with grapes and figs , old brown betty with a yellow wig
Em D
tain’t the mince meat filagree , and it ain’t the turkey neck stew
Em D
and it ain’t them bruleed okra seeds , though she made them especial for you
Em
worse won a prize for her bottom black pie the beans got to thrown to the
D
dogs
Em D
jaheseus christ i can always make room , when they’re cookin up a filipino
Em
box spring hog
D Em D Em
cookin up a filipino box spring hog , cookin up a filipino box spring hog
