[Verse 1]
Down in Georgia at hog killin' time
You can buy that pork, a pound for a dime
Some buy the knuckles and other buy the ears
But most o' them cats, they love his gears
It's oysters, them good old mountain oysters
[Verse 2]
Well, the butchers down south, they give a hog a shave
There ain't a part about him that they don't save
'Cause the folks in Georgia, way back home
They love that meat that ain't got no bone
Oysters, those good old mountain oysters
[Verse 3]
When the weather gets cold and you’ve got to eat
You know it's hog killin' time and you get your favourite meat
You go in the store and get a pound for a dime
And you are in for a ballin' time
It's oysters, those good old mountain oysters
[Refrain]
Oysters, those good old mountain oysters
