JP Harris - Old Bangum Lyrics

Old Bangum will you hunt and ride? (dillum-down, dillum)
Old Bangum will you hunt and ride?
Old Bangum will you hunt and ride, sword and a pistol by your side?
(Killee-kee, killee-killee-cum, killee-quo-cum)

Old Bangum rode to the riverside
Old Bangum rode to the riverside
Old Bangum rode to the riverside, he swore’d a young maiden he did spy

He said “young maid will you marry me?”
He said “young maid will you marry me?”
But she said “no lord we couldn’t agree.”

“There lives a wild boar in these woods”
“There lives a wild boar in these woods”
“There lives a wild boar in these woods, eats mens’ bones and it drinks their blood.”

Old Bangum rode to the wild boar’s den
Old Bangum rode to the wild boar’s den
He saw the bones of a thousand men

Old Bangum drew his wooden knife
Old Bangum drew his wooden knife
Swore “by God, I’m gonna take it’s life”

Old Bangum and the wild boar fought
Old Bangum and the wild boar fought
The sun came up and the boar was naught
