My mother always talks of her father's singing, "The pig
got up and slowly walked away". I just had to buy. And
how rewarding. It's all American, and there are some
great classics here.
"The Pig Got Up and Slowly Walked Away", 1933 song
One evening in October, when I was one-third sober,
An' taking home a ‘load' with manly pride;
My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up an' lay down by my side;
Then we sang ‘It's all fair weather when good fellows get together,'
Till a lady passing by was heard to say:
‘You can tell a man who "boozes" by the company he chooses'
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.
