Been trying to think of what this might have been. Not too sure this was a Bob Wills tune, but the combination of the train with the pigs has me puzzled a little. Bob had a few songs mentioning pigs, such as "Pliney Jane" which doesn't mention a train or have that line about rhythm pigs. Bob also used Hargus "Pig" Robbins on some of his Nashville recordings, but again no line like that. During "Milk Cow Blues" he says "Here comes the Pig - Come on Brother Pig, play it out" and the piano solo starts. Another Bob Wills alumni, I believe it was Tiny Moore, had a record titled "Cincinnati Dancing Pig" about a famous dancing pig. Anybody else have any ideas?
