The Brothers Four
Dance Me a Jig
[Intro]
Get along there Jeff Davis, get along there General lee

[Verse 1]
I'm going up to that freedom land
Got me two pigs, got 'em here in my hand
The Bible says it's wrong to steal and to lie
So I asked my dear Lord to close both His eyes

[Chorus]
While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog
'Cause I got me a pig, Lord, I got me a hog
Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me
Get along there Jeff Davis, get along there General Lee

[Verse 2]
Didn't want no posses chasing after me
So I took all the livestock and set 'em free
Oh, master will be so mad that he's liable to bust
'Cause he's gotta catch 'em all while I'm kicking up dust

[Chorus]
While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog
'Cause I got me a pig, Lord, I got me a hog
Ain't no one gonna take 'em from me
Get along there Jeff Davis, get along there General Lee
[Verse 3]
If you pigs are wondering how you got your names
Well, you and them two rascals are one and the same
And if you don't stop acting like your two namesakes
I'll have roast pork in the morning and some tasty ham steaks

[Chorus]
While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog
'Cause I got me a pig, Lord, I got me a hog
Ain't no one gonna take 'em from
Get along there Jeff Davis, get along there Fool

[Verse 4]
I am an old man, but I'd like to bet
That I am one old man old master won't forget
The look on his face will be something to see
When he finds those pigs are gone and I am free

[Verse 5]
I'm going up to that freedom land
Got me two pigs, got 'em here in my hand
The Bible says it's wrong to steal and to lie
So I asked my dear Lord to close both His eyes

[Chorus]
While I dance me a jig and I dance me a jog
'Cause I got me a pig, Lord, I got me a hog
Ain't no one gonna take 'em from
[Outro]
Ain't no one gonna take 'em from
Get along there Jeff Davis, get along there General Lee
