            FILIPINO BOX SPRING HOG

E minorEm                           D MajorD
I hung on to Mary's stump, I danced with a soldier's glee
E minorEm                               D MajorD
With a rum soaked crook, And a big fat laugh, I spent my last dollar on thee
  E minorEm                          D MajorD
I saw Bill Bones, I gave him a yell, Kehoe spiked the nog
    E minorEm                    D MajorD         E minorEm
With a chain link fence, And a scrap iron jaw, Cookin up a Filipino Box
Spring hog
 D MajorD         E minorEm        D MajorD         E minorEm
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog

 E minorEm                            D MajorD
Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn on a one-eyed stolen mare
 E minorEm                              D MajorD
Donned himself with chicken fat, Sawin on a jawbone violin there
  E minorEm
Kathleen was sittin down in little red recovery room in her criminal
     D MajorD       E minorEm
underwear bra,  I was naked to the waist with my fierce black hound
     D MajorD         E minorEm
And I'm cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
 D MajorD         E minorEm        D MajorD         E minorEm
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

 E minorEm                             D MajorD
Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road fill it with madrone and bay
 E minorEm                                   D MajorD
Stinks like hell and the neighbors complain, Don't give a hoot what they say
        E minorEm                                  D MajorD
Ya gotta slap that hog, Roll 'em over twice, Gotta baste it with a sweeping broom
     E minorEm                    D MajorD         E minorEm
You gotta swat them flies, And chain up the dogs, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
 D MajorD         E minorEm        D MajorD         E minorEm
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog

 E minorEm                                D MajorD
Rattle snake piccata with grapes and figs, Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
 E minorEm                                D MajorD
Tain't the mince meat filagree,   And it ain't the turkey neck stew
    E minorEm                                D MajorD
And it ain't them bruleed okra seeds, Though she made them especial for you
  E minorEm
Worse won a prize for her bottom black pie the beans got to thrown to the
 D MajorD
dogs
  E minorEm                         D MajorD
Jaheseus Christ I can always make room, When they're cookin up a Filipino
E minorEm
Box Spring Hog
 D MajorD         E minorEm        D MajorD         E minorEm
