Old Bangum - Jean Ritchie

Bangum rid by the riverside

Dillum down dillum

Three young ladies there he spied

Dillum down dillum

Killy ko cuddle down

Killy ko corn

There’s a wild boar in these woods

Who’ll eat his meat, 'll suck his blood

If you would this wild boar see

Blow a blast, he’ll come to thee

Slapped the horn into his mouth

Blew a blast both North and South

Wild boar come in such a rush

Split his way through oak and ash

Fit four hours by the day

At last the wild boar run away

Old Bangum follered him to his den

Saw the bones of a thousand men
