Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall
[Verse 1]
G C D7 G
I met him in a hospital about a year ago
C G D7
And why I still remember him I guess I'll never know
G C D7 G
He'd lie there and cry out in a medicated fog
C D7 G
Here I am in this ole bed and who's gonna feed them hogs
[Chorus]
C G D7 G
Four hundred hogs they're just standing out there
C G D7
My wife can't feed 'em and my neighbors don't care
G C D7 G
They can't get out and roam around like my old hunting dogs
C D7 G
Here I am in this ole bed and who's gonna feed them hogs
[Verse 2] (x2)
C D7 G
His face was lean and his hands were rough
C G D7
His way was hogs and his nature was tough
G C D7 G
His doctors tried to tell him that he may not live at all
C D7 G
But all he ever talked about was who's gonna feed them hogs
[Chorus]
C D7 G
Four hundred hogs comes to eight hundred hams
C G D7
And that's a lotta money for a hog raising man
G C D7 G
Four hundred hogs comes to sixteen hundred feet
C D7 G
The market's up and there are people a waiting on that meat
[Verse 3] (x2)
C D7 G
Well the doctors say they do not know what saved the man from death
C G D7
But in a few days he put on his overalls and he left
G C D7 G
That's all there is to this small song but waitress 'fore you leave
C D7 G
Would you bring me some coffee and a hot ham sandwich please
