The Pig Belial
Lyrics:
He came alone with a pen and a gun
A long ways from his home
Smoky mountain moonshine in his blood
And Dante burning in his bones
He chinked a cabin up a branch on a hill near Hazel Creek
Back of beyond, where the razorbacks would keep
CHORUS
Kephart, Kephart, Belial's in the briar
Coming through the laurel, eyes on the fire
Kephart, Kephart, aim your rifle well
That pig would cross a rotten log
Over the flames of hell
He baked a pone in an open pit at the ending of the day
Pepper pie, would keep the pigs at bay
But one old boar they called Belial
That greedy pig was first to find the pepper on the plate,
Mouth on fire, his heart then turned to hate
With a vengence in his eye, Belial waited for the night
Hiding in the laurel, he charged with all his might
For Kephart's steamin pot of stew
Ol' Kep he drew a bead upon that pig's beloved tail
Shot it clean off, it left a one-way trail
