The Irish Rovers - Pigs Can't Fly (Unsweetened) lyrics

Verse 1: I once had a pig that loved me And lived in a shed in the country In a middle cla** district of Dunfries But a sad kind of pig was he CHORUS: Pigs can't swim and Pigs can't fly But pigs can see the wind go by Pigs make lovely household friends When winter comes and summer ends Early in the morning So early in the morning So early in the morning Before the break of day Verse 2: Each week that lofty beside Would beg with eyes so misty To take him over the England His life dreams to fulfil CHORUS Verse 3: He'd plunge into the channel Swim to France would be his gamble Florence Chadwick couldn't hold a candle To such a darling Pig as he CHORUS Verse 4: "Are you tired of me?" I asked him "Will our friendship not be lastin'?" But he told me I was graspin' And he needed to be free CHORUS Verse 5: "So will you take me there tomorrow?" "In a pig's eye," I said with sorrow So he drowned himself in the bathtub Naughty boy, and I had pork chops for my tea CHORUS
