Verse 1
(G major) (A major) (D major) Down
on the farm we had
a pig, J. (A major) Edgar was his (D major) name
He'd eat up all our victuals
and (A major) start back (D major) up again
Just (G major) like them vacuum cleaners
they (D major) sell down in the (A major) lane
Well, (D major) that's how J. Edgar
(A major) Hoover got his (D major) name
Verse 2
Now, momma baked (D major) a cherry
pie and (A major) set it out to (E flat major) cool (D major)
So we'd have something good to
eat when we got home from school
J. (G major) Edgar climbed up on the porch
and (D major) ate up all that (A major) pie
When (D major) we got home that mornin'
we (A major) heard our mamma (D major) cry

Verse 3
J. Edgar, J. (D major) Edgar,
just look what you've (G major) done
You (D major) ate up the (B flat major) cherry pie that
was for (A major) every (D major) one
We made it through the dusters,
and the hoppers (G major) too
But God help us, J. (D major) Edgar,
'cause (B flat major) nothin's safe from (D major) you
(G major) (D major) (B flat major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 4
We had an extra (E flat major) man named (D major) Bob
he (B flat major) wouldn't (A major) work a (D major) lick
He drank bad moonshine likker,
and it (A major) al ways made him (D major) sick
We (G major) rode to church on Sunday
and (D major) stayed a while in (A major) town
When (D major) we reached home at suppertime,
poor Bob could (B flat major) not be (E flat major) found (D major)
Verse 5
He wasn't in the parlor, and he (B flat major)
wasn't in the (D major) lane
Drinking in the pantry or
(A major) sleepin' in the (D major) hay
His (G major) hat was in the pigpen,
(D major) that he always (A major) wore
Poor (D major) Bob won't be (E flat major) drinking
moonshine (B flat major) likker any (D major) more
Verse 6
J. Edgar, J. Edgar (D major) it just
don't seem (G major) fair
You ate (A major) Bob our hired (B flat major) hand
(A major) while we were at (D major) prayer
Let's say a prayer for old Bob,
and our country (G major) too
God help us J. (D major) Edgar,
nobody's (B flat major) (A major) safe from (D major) you
(A major) (D major)
