[Verse 1]
There’s no respect for youth or age
On board the Heartland stage
We pull and haul about the seats
As bed-bugs do about the sheets
[Chorus]
They started as a thieving line
In eighteen hundred and forty-nine
At all opposition they defy
So the people must root hog or die
[Verse 2]
You’re crowded in with smelly men
As fattening hogs are in a pen
And what will more a man provoke
Is musty plug tobacco smoke
The ladies are compelled to sit
With dresses in tobacco spit
The gentlemen don’t seem to care
But talk on politics and swear
[Chorus]
They started as a thieving line
In eighteen hundred and forty-nine
All opposition they defy
So the people must root hog or die
There’s no respect for youth or age
On board the Heartland stage
We pull and haul about the seats
As bed-bugs do about the sheets
[Chorus]
They started as a thieving line
In eighteen hundred and forty-nine
At all opposition they defy
So the people must root hog or die
[Verse 2]
You’re crowded in with smelly men
As fattening hogs are in a pen
And what will more a man provoke
Is musty plug tobacco smoke
The ladies are compelled to sit
With dresses in tobacco spit
The gentlemen don’t seem to care
But talk on politics and swear
[Chorus]
They started as a thieving line
In eighteen hundred and forty-nine
All opposition they defy
So the people must root hog or die
