An’ many’s the time I’ve heerd ’im tell how

He hed fit with or run from a perky ol’ sow.

Fer them pigs was mean custumers, give ’em a chance,

An’ a boar with ’is tushes could rip up yer pants

A dum sight more quicker ’n a pirate crew,

An’ ’e’d take a hull lot o’ yer leg with it tew.

One time they’s a feller was huntin’ ’is pork

Somewhar over yender not fur from the Fork.

Now they’s fokes ’at’s still livin’ ’at ’ll tell ye they know

Thet what I’m a-tellin’ ye reely was so.
