Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]
I met him in a hospital about a year ago[00:00:04]
And why I still remember him[00:00:09]
I guess I'll never know[00:00:11]
He'd lie there and cry out in a medicated fog,[00:00:14]
"Here I am in this dang bed and[00:00:19]
Who's gonna feed them hogs?"[00:00:22]
"Four hundred hogs, they just standin' out there[00:00:25]
My wife can't feed 'em and[00:00:29]
My neighbors don't care[00:00:31]
They can't get out and roam[00:00:35]
Around like my old huntin' dogs[00:00:37]
Here I am in this dang bed and[00:00:40]
Who's gonna feed them hogs?"[00:00:42]
His face was lean and his hands were rough[00:00:45]
His way was hogs and his nature was tough[00:00:50]
His doctors tried to tell him[00:00:55]
That he may not live at all[00:00:57]
But all he ever talked about[00:01:00]
Was who's gonna feed them hogs[00:01:02]
"Four hundred hogs, they just standin' out there[00:01:06]
My wife can't feed 'em and[00:01:11]
My neighbors don't care[00:01:13]
They can't get out and roam[00:01:16]
Around like my old huntin' dogs[00:01:18]
Here I am in this dang bed and[00:01:21]
Who's gonna feed them hogs?"[00:01:23]
Four hundred hogs comes to eight hundred hams[00:01:32]
And that's a lot of money for a hog-raisin' man[00:01:36]
Four hundred hogs comes to sixteen hundred feet[00:01:42]
The market's up and there are[00:01:46]
People a-waitin' on that meat[00:01:48]
Well, the doctors say they do not know[00:01:52]
What saved the man from death[00:01:54]
But in a few days he put on his[00:01:57]
Overalls and he left[00:01:59]
That's all there is to this small song[00:02:02]
But waitress, before you leave,[00:02:05]
Would you bring me some[00:02:08]
Coffee and a hot ham sandwich, please?[00:02:09]
Four hundred hogs they're just standing out there[00:02:15]
His wife couldn't feed 'em and[00:02:19]
His neighbors didn't care[00:02:21]
They couldn't get out and roam[00:02:25]
Around like his old huntin' dogs[00:02:26]
