Pigs Can't Fly (unsweetened) Lyrics - Upon A Shamrock Shore: Songs Of Ireland And The Irish - Irish Rovers

I once had a pig that loved me 

We lived in a shed in the country 

In a middle class 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

Each week that lofty beastie 

Would beg with eyes so misty 

To take a boat o'er to England 

His life dreams to fulfill. 

To plunge into the Channel 

Swim to France would be his gamble 

Florence Chadwick couldn't hold a candle 

To such a darin' pig as he 

"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 

"So will you take me there tomorrow?" 

"In a pigs eye" I said with sorrow 

So he drowned himself in the bathtub 

(Naughty Boy.) 

And I had pork chops for me tea!

Early in the morning, 

So early in the morning, 

So early in the morning, 

Before the break of day.
