Alright, old gal, this is a good morning to kill hogs.
The wind's in the right place this morning.
Looking for some fellas down here to help me make some music, [C] too.
Maybe they'll come in time, help me kill these hogs and have some fresh meat.
That's about to give out, we've got.
They ought to come now.
Hello, Ged.
Hello, that'll do.
How are you?
Hey, little fete.
Yeah.
Let's think about killing hogs.
No dogs coming down here.
They need to have some music on, some fresh meat.
Might a good morning this morning.
Ged is awful cold and frost around here.
He's got a good drink around here, anyway.
Alright, I sure got that.
Just take a good one, boys, and go put a fire on the pot.
Alright.
I like fire, I like backbones.
That's good liquor.
Boys, take a little drink.
You want a little drink, Raleigh?
Leave it up.
Alright.
Hey, Ged, while the water's warming up,
what do you say we play a little tune around here?
Alright.
What do you want to play, Raleigh?

We can get to them good now, [Cm] boys.
Hand me that axe around here.
See, Ged?
Alright, you want me to hit him over there?
Yes, sir.
Four times.
Alright, now watch him.
I'll wait, you know.
Hit him again.
That's about good.
Drag off them [G] plank there, boys, and drag them out here and [C] stick it.
Alright, she's bleeding good.
Now, ain't [G] it?

Just drag him up through that big barrel.
Here we go, boys.
What are you going to do, Ged?
Scald him in the barrel? Yes, sir.
Get him in here now, boys.
Wait a minute.
The water ain't quite hot enough.
While the water's getting warm, let's play another tune.
Turn him over here.
[C] Turn him over, I think, and drag him out.
Just hang him up here, boys.
We'll play another tune first.
