I walked out on a sage brush hill
Thought I'd find me a hog to kill
Heard a pig squeal and up jumped one
I pulled my trigger and I drug him home

Jiggy jiggy bum bum
Hey piggy run run
Jiggy jiggy bum bum
And a hey piggy run

Tied my rope around his feet
Swung him up in the mill to bleed
Middle of the night grey wolf come 
Take his wife and family some.

Jiggy jiggy bum bum
Hey piggy run run
Jiggy jiggy bum bum
And a hey piggy run

Grabbed my gun, run to the hill Standing up around the old windmill
I says grey wolf if you come to steel
I'll slit your belly and hang you by the heels
Oh Mr. ranchman Mr grey wolf said
My eleven little babies are starving dead
I said grey wolf I'm troubled myself
Cause I've got a wife and a children twelve
And the old grey wolf made the big run Made me jump and I dropped my gun
Took my gun throwed it in the well
Turn the old grey wolf's soul to hell
Well the old grey wolf run to the mill Seen my hog hanging by his heel
Filled up his belly from a puddle of blood
And he grabbed my hog and struck for home

Jiggy jiggy bum bum
Hey piggy run run
Jiggy jiggy bum bum
And a hey piggy run
