Dance Me a Jig - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

Get along there Jeff Davis get along there General Lee

I'm going up to the freedom land

Got me two pigs got 'em here in my hand

The bible says it's wrong to steal and tell lies

So I asked mighty lord to close all his eyes

While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog

'Cause I got me a pig and I got me a hog

Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me

Get along there Jeff Davis get along there General Lee

I didn't want no posses chasing after me

So I took all the livestock and set 'em free

Now master 's so mad that he's liable to bust

'Cause he gotta catch 'em all while I'm kicking up dust

While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog

'Cause I got me a pig lord and I got me a hog

Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me

Get along there Jeff Davis get along there General Lee

If you pigs are wondering how you got your names

Well you and them two rascals are just the same

And if you don't stop acting like your two namesakes

I'll have roast pork in the morning and tasty ham steaks

While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog

'Cause I got me a pig and I got me a hog

Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me

Get along there Jeff Davis get along there fool

I am an old woman but I'd like to bet

That I'm one woman old master won't forget

The look on his face will be something to see

When he finds the pigs are gone and I am free

I'm going up to the freedom land

Got me two pigs got 'em here in my hand

The bible says it's wrong to steal and tell lies

So I asked mighty lord to close all his eyes

While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog

'Cause I got me a pig lord and I got me a hog

Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me

Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me

Get along there Jeff Davisl get along there General Lee
