Hog-Killing Day
Daddy sure got us outta bed early this mornin’
Cause today we gonna kill us a big ol’ fat hog
Philip he gits to shoot it cause it’s his to kill
Daddy had him feed it slop and corn twice a day
I’m glad Mother fixes us biscuits an gravy to eat
Instead-a slop like that poor ol’ hog had everday
Man alive it’s really cold out here this mornin’
Ever time I breathe out looks like I’m smokin’
Kenneth an Philip they lets me have a puff sometimes
An it don’t make me sick an throw up like it use to
They always smoke that tabaccer Daddy raises
But it burns my mouth an use to make me sick
Uh-oh here comes Kenneth ridin' his bicycle
You’d better watch where you’re goin’ burr-head
An you know what I’m gonna do Kenneth Gerald
I’m gonna tell Mother you out here ridin’yer bicycle
With yer feet up on the handlebars again
An I’ll betcha she cuts yer hide with a willer switch
You tell an I’ll make sure I tell her you been smokin’
Hey David go back in the house an git Daddy’s .22
You go git it yerself Philip . . . I ain’t yer slave anymore
Daddy will you make David go back an git yer rifle
David Lee do what he said an you two quit yer fussin'
Man alive that was the loudest whistle I ever heered
I wish I could stick my little fangers in my mouth
An whistle real loud the way Daddy jist done
Now I hear him a-hollering’ fer us
C’mon boys . . . No more o’ yer fussin’ this mornin'
We got us a big ol’ fat hog to kill
Now that Philip's twelve he gits to do the shootin'
Kenneth got to shoot one the year he turned twelve
An David in three more years you'll pull the trigger

Those that go to grocery stores to pick out their favorite cut of pork from factory produced pigs have no idea what it was like to grow your own meat, kill it, cut it up, preserve it, and make it last for as long as possible until you have to kill the next one.
Leaving a free line between every once in a while would make it a bit easier to read with my wandering attention and slow reading style.

I should think the second possibility. Bravo !!!
