Lower On The Hog

A Well, I've been workin' at the factory earnin' every dime I make E A Lookin' at my check stub cussin' what the tax man takes A My baby's dependin' on me - oh Lord to bring the bacon home E A But it's just salt pork we're eating lower on the hog D N.C. D But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way A With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say D But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone E I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on? F#m G G# A There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog F#m G G# A I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog A E A (2x) A There's people standin' with their hands out formin' a welfare line E A Savin' their back while I'm out breakin' mine I ain't worried about the federal budget or the L.A city smog E A I'm workin' overtime and eatin' lower on the hog D N.C. D And if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way A With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say D But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone E I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on? F#m G G# A There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog F#m G G# A I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog F#m G G# A There's a whole lot less to throw out to the dog F#m G G# A I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog D A D E F#m G G# A (4x)
