Hag-Tied over You - Tennessee Ernie Ford, Ella Mae Morse

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you

You’re my baby and I don’t mean maybe

I’m hogtied over you

Do you remember darling when we was on the farm

I’d chase you around the hog-pen and chase you in the barn

And then I’d grab a plow-point and crack you on the head

And then we’d both sit right down and laugh until we was almost dead

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you

You’re my baby and I don’t mean maybe

I’m hogtied over you

Do remember darling hunting duck eggs in the branch

And then you’d grab and kiss me every time you had the chance

And then you’d hold me under until my face turned blue

But I’d come up a choking saying darling I love you

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you

You’re my baby and I don’t mean maybe

I’m hogtied over you

And as the years went by dear I learned to love you so

Until you dropped the anvil right on my little toe

And how you came to my house and watched me feed the hogs

And sit around with googoo eyes and pet your possum dog

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you

You’re my baby and I don’t mean maybe

I’m hogtied over you

And when we’d make molasses I’d always join you there

You’d get some on a cane stalk and stick it in my hair

And then you’d grab a shotgun and just before you’d shoot

Your ma would grin and say them young 'uns mercy ain’t they cute

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you

You’re my baby and I don’t mean maybe

I’m hogtied over you

Oh I will always remember those days as long as I live

And all the things you did to me I surely will forgive

I remember in the haystack when you kissed me it was fun

If only when you’d kissed me you hadn’t jumped up and run

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you

You’re my baby and I don’t mean maybe

I’m hogtied over you

I’m hogtied over you
