Good Old Pig, Gone To Avalon - Jeffrey Lewis

I had a pig, it really was a sight

When it was dark he glowed at nite

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

He had a tail that curled around three times

Helen: He clapped whenever a curl was thrown at a swine

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

If you’ve ever wondered what the colour pink’s about

All you have to do is see his snout

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

He got so big he thought he was a jeep

He used to give old ladies rides down to the beach

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

I never saw a pig as half as cute

Not just that, but pretty darn astute

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

Some said his name was Jasper, some said Jason

It all depended on which way he’s facing

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

Well when music played you ought to see him wiggling

Despite his age he always acted like a piglet

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

Towards Avalon one day he disappeared

I got a postcard, «Feeling fine, wish you were here»

Good old pig, a long time gone

On his way to Avalon

To Avalon
