A full hog cooked in this backyard fashion:
Build a big fire, throw a box spring on it until it's burnt off everything but the steel springs, put a hog over the springs above the coals, sauce it with a broom, flip it over ever now and then.
Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road
Fill it with madrone and bay
Stinks like hell
And the neighbors complain
Don't give a hoot what they say
Slap that hog
Gotta roll em over twice
Baste him with a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies
And chain up the dogs
