One evening in October, when I was one-third sober,
An' taking home a
load
with manly pride;
My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up an' lay down by my side;
Then we sang 'It's all fair weather when good fellows get together,'
Till a lady passing by was heard to say:
You can tell a man who boozes
by the company he chooses
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.
