B. [Bangrum] Sir Lionel- Sung by Mrs. Betty Smith and Mr. N. B. Chisholm at Woodridge, Va., Sept. 27, 1916
1. There is a wild boar in this woods,
Dellum down, dellum down,
There is a wild boar in this woods,
He'll eat your meat and suck your blood,
Dellum down, dellum down.
2 Bangrum drew his wooden knife
And swore he'd take the wild boar's life.
3 The wild boar came in such a flash,
He broke his way through oak and ash.
