[Verse 1] [G]Dow[A]n[D] on the farm we had a pig, J. [A]Edgar was his [D]name He'd eat up all our victuals and [A]start back [D]up again Just [G]like them vacuum cleaners they [D]sell down in the [A]lane Well, [D]that's how J. Edgar [A]Hoover got his [D]name [Verse 2] Now, momma baked [D]a cherry pie and [A]set it out to [Eb]cool[D] So we'd have something good to eat when we got home from school J. [G]Edgar climbed up on the porch and [D]ate up all that [A]pie When [D]we got home that mornin' we [A]heard our mamma [D]cry [Verse 3] J. Edgar, J. [D]Edgar, just look what you've [G]done You [D]ate up the [Bb]cherry pie that was for [A]every[D]one We made it through the dusters, and the hoppers [G]too But God help us, J. [D]Edgar, 'cause [Bb]nothin's safe from [D]you [G][D][Bb][A][D] [Verse 4] We had an extra [Eb]man named [D]Bob he [Bb]wouldn't [A]work a [D]lick He drank bad moonshine likker, and it [A]al ways made him [D]sick We [G]rode to church on Sunday and [D]stayed a while in [A]town When [D]we reached home at suppertime, poor Bob could [Bb]not be [Eb]found[D] [Verse 5] He wasn't in the parlor, [Bb]and he wasn't in the [D]lane Drinking in the pantry or [A]sleepin' in the [D]hay His [G]hat was in the pigpen, [D]that he always [A]wore Poor [D]Bob won't be [Eb]drinking moonshine [Bb]likker any[D]more [Verse 6] J.
