It was early last December, 
   F 
As well as I remember, 
     G                                 C 
I was walking down the street in tipsy pride. 
C 
No one was I disturbin', 
     F 
As I lay down by the curb-in', 
      G                              C 
And a pig came up and lay down by my side. 
 
C 
As I lay there in the gutter, 
         F 
Thinking thoughts I cannot utter, 
  G                            C 
A lady passing by was heard to say, 
 C 
"You can tell a man who boozes 
       F 
By the company he choses." 
        G                             C 
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.
