Verse 1
D 
I  hung on to Mary's stump
C 
D 
I danced with a soldier's glee
With a rum- soaked crook and a big fat laugh
I spent my last dollar on thee
I saw Bill Bones, gave him a yell
Kehoe spiked the nog
With a chain- link fence and
a scrap- iron jaw
Cookin' up a Filipino Box

Verse 2
Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn
On a one- eyed stolen mare
Donned himself with chicken fat
Sawin' on a jawbone violin there
Kathleen was sittin' down in
Little Red Recovery Room
In her criminal underwear bra
I was naked to the waist with
my fierce black hound
And I'm cookin' up a Filipino
Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

Verse 3
D 
Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road
C 
Fill it with madrone and bay
D 
Stinks like hell and the
neighbors complain
Don't give a hoot what they say
Gotta slap that hog
Roll em over twice
Gotta baste him with
C 
D 
a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies and
chain up the dogs
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box

Verse 4
Spring Hog
D 
Rattlesnake piccata with grapes and figs
Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
Tain't the mince meat filagree
C 
D 
And it ain't the turkey- neck stew
And it ain't them bruleed okra seeds
Though she made them
F 
D 
especially for you
Worse won a prize for her
bottom black pie
F 
Fm 
F 
The beans got thrown to the dogs
