[Verse 1]
[C]Boy[G]s a[C]nd girls sometimes
get the measles,
but in this [G]song, [C]even a sow,
which is another name for a lady pig,
took the measles too.
How do you think I begin in the world?
I got [G]me a sow and sev
[C]eral other things.
The sow took the measles
and she died in the spring.
What do you think I made of her hide?
The [G]very best saddle
that she [C]ever did ride,
saddle or bridle or any such thing.
The [G]sow took the measles,
and she died in the [C]spring.
What do you think I made of her nose?
The [G]very best thimble
that [C]ever sewed clothes,
thimble or thread or any such thing.
The [G]sow took the measles,
and she died in the [C]spring.
What do you think I made of her tail?
The [G]very best whoop that
[C]ever sought to sail,
whoop or whoopsock at any such thing,
the [G]sow took the measles
and she died in the [C]spring.
What do you think I made of her feet?
The [G]very best pickles
that she [C]ever did eat.
Pickles or glue or any such thing,
the [G]sow took the measles
and she died in [C]the spring.
