Sow Took the Measles 
Sow Took the Measles
 How do you think I begin in the world? I got me a sow and sev'ral other things; Sow or hog or some such thing The sow took the measles and died in the spring
 What do you think that I made of her hide? The very best saddle that you ever did ride; Saddle or bridle or any such a thing, The sow took the measles and died in the spring
 What do you think that I made of her nose? The very best thimble that ever sewed clothes; Thimble or thread or any such thing, The sow took the measles and died in the spring
 What do you think I made of her tail? The very best whup that ever sought sail; Whup or whup-socket, any such thing The sow took the measles and died in the spring
 What do you think that I made of her feet? The very best pickles that you ever did eat; Pickles or glue or any such thing, The sow took the measles and died in the spring
