I’m Hog‐Tied Over You Songtext
von Tennessee Ernie Ford

I′m hogtied over you
I'm hogtied over you
You′re my baby and I don't mean maybe
I'm hogtied over you

Do you remember darling
When we was on the farm
I′d chase you around the hog-pen
And run you in the barn
And then I′d grab a plow-point
And crack you on the head
And then we'd both sit right down
And laugh until we was almost dead

I′m hogtied over you
I'm hogtied over you
You′re my baby and I don't mean maybe
I′m hogtied over you


Oh,how I do remember hunting duck eggs in the branch
And you would grab and kiss me
Every time you had the chance
And then you'd hold me under
Until my face was blue
But I'd come up a choking
Saying darling I love you

I′m hogtied over you
I′m hogtied over you
You're my baby and I don′t mean maybe
I'm hogtied over you

And as the years went by dear
I learned to love you so
Until you dropped the anvil
Right on my little toe
And how you came to my house
And watched me feed the hogs
And sit around with googoo eyes
And pet your possum dog

I′m hogtied over you
I'm hogtied over you
You′re my baby and I don't mean maybe
I'm hogtied over you


And when we′d make molasses
I′d always find you there
You'd get some on a cane stalk
And stick it in my hair
And then you′d grab a shotgun
And just before you'd shoot
Your ma would grin and say them young ′uns
Mercy ain't they cute

I′m hogtied over you
I'm hogtied over you
You're my baby and I don′t mean maybe
I′m hogtied over you

Oh, I'll remember all those days
As long as I shall live
And all the things you did to me
I surely will forgive
I remember in the haystack
When you kissed me it was fun
If only when you′d kissed me
You hadn't jumped up and run

I′m hogtied over you
I'm hogtied over you
You′re my baby and I don't mean maybe
I'm hogtied over you
I′m hogtied over you
I′m hogtied over you
You're my baby and I don′t mean maybe
I'm hogtied over you
