Incredible String Band – Big Ted lyrics

big ted's dead
he was a great old pig
he'd eat most anything,- never wore a wig
now he's gone like snow on the water
good bye

he was getting old
so the farmer said
he sold him to the butcher, just to make a little bread
now he's gone tik snow on the water
don't cry

ted may be a moo cow next time around
giving sweet milk to the people in the towwn
he'll be whatever he may chouse on air or sea or ground

sows are busy with pigletts fine
i put them in the chorus now, if they don't mind
'casue i know they like acorns and don't like bacon

shoop shoop shoopshoopshoop shoop shoop shoop shoop
yeah baby
sham sham sa boom
sham sham sa boom
big teds soul ain't gone
