James,
Thanks for that information. I'll look for it. I don't currently have, "I Got a Pig," but I remember the verses, which were: Black clouds a' rising Sure sign of rain Put the old gray bonnet on Little Liza Jane Bake them biscuits Baby Bake 'em good and brown When we get them biscuits baked We're Alabama bound Going on the mountain To sow a little cane Raise a barrel of sorghum Sweeten old Liza Jane chorus: I got a pig at home in a pen Corn to feed him on All I need's a pretty little girl To feed him when I'm gone It is so similar, it must be basically the same song, though I never heard Ralph do it alone. The version I heard was with Carter singing lead. At 08:48 PM 1/8/02 -0500, you wrote: > >Kathleen, > >I'd guess that "Rocky Island" is a very old song. I really don't know where >Ralph got it from.
