Start Jamming...
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?
[Cm] How about we play that Mississippi Sawyer?
Boy, that's a good piece, alright.
Saw it [E] good.

Alright, boys, that water's getting [C] hot now.
We better get down here and kill them hogs and get them up here.
Now knock this wood off.
Yes, get in on close to them, boy.
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?
Tight rope around his nose.
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.
Alright, as soon as we play that last tune, uh, crack [Cm] that bread.
Alright, here we go.
Good.

[F#m]

Alright, boy, [Cm] looks like he's greened down now.
I'm going to take them guts out of him.
Wrench off my hands [C] good.
I'm going after him now.
I don't cut into him here most too deep and ruin him.
Get that tub under [C] him down here and catch him, boys.
Alright, here it is.
We got it.
Alright, come on down.
Hold him open a little bit.
Whoop, look at all that fat.
His kidney's nearly covered up with fat.
I'll take him out from under here, boys.
Oh, we got him.
Wrench off that liver good.
[G] I'll cut off a piece and cook it right now.
I'm getting hungry myself.
Alright.
What about having a little tune now while that liver's cooking?
I'll wrench him down and let him drain a little bit.
Alright.
While we play that tune now, call Sugar in the Gorge.
Boy, that's a good number.
[A] [Dm] [A]
We got [F#m] one, two, three, four, five, [A] six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
[D] [F#m]
[A]
[Cm] twenty.
How's that [C] liver taste to y'all, boys?
That's good liver.
Boy, that's good.
I want to save that bladder and make a football out of it.
Let's get him up on this old cook table now, boys, and go to cutting him up.
Bet you know how to unjoint them feet, don't you?
You bet yourself.
Alright, here now, let's turn him up here and take the action.
Rip out that backbone.
Cut out these side ribs here.
Cut off them hams there.
Get his shoulders off, boys.
I want to trim good.
I want a big can and a half of lard out of this now.
Bit over his head there, boy, and get them brains out.
Burrow out them ears.
Burrow out your ears.
Part of the head for New Year's Day.
That's right.
That'll make good press meat and you'll like it.
Take it and press meat.
Alright, I'd like for you to cook it up.
I'd like to have some of them brains too, baby.
Brains and eggs? That's good.
I like them myself.
[Cm] Well, then, about to get all this straightened out now.
Here's a good place [C] to salt him down.
What about another little tune here while he's airing out?
Keep the flies off of him, boys.
He's turning a little warmer.
Alright, Ryder, what do you want to play this time?
Well, before we play that tune this time, Backbones and Spare Ribs.
Oh, that's another hot one.
I'll load [Dm] them for dinner tomorrow.
