Lyrics Root Hog Or Die - June Carter Cash
When
I
was
young
and
pretty
With
a
twinkling
in
my
eye
I
met
a
travelin'
man
one
day
And
I
guess
he
told
a
lie
When
we
was
a
courting
He
called
me
sugar
pie
Now
he
calls
me
other
names
It's
root,
hog,
or
die
Root,
hog,
or
die
Tell
you
the
reason
why
I
met
a
travelin'
man
one
day
And
I
guess
he
told
a
lie
A
rig
a
tig
tig
A
rig
a
tig
tig
A
rig
a
tig
tig
tig
He
asked
me
to
get
married
One
cold
day
in
July
But
since
the
day
we've
tied
the
knot
It's
root,
hog,
or
die
He
always
promised
that
I'd
get
a
50/50
deal
But
every
time
he
buys
a
turnip
All
I
get's
the
heel
Root,
hog,
or
die
Tell
the
world
goodbye
For
since
the
day
we
tied
the
knot
It's
root,
hog,
or
die
He
told
me
that
I'd
always
be
the
apple
of
his
eye
But
since
I
knocked
his
one
eye
out
It's
root,
hog,
or
die
My
old
man
don't
work
at
all
No,
he
won't
even
try
If
I
don't
work,
I'll
starve
to
death
It's
root,
hog,
or
die
Root,
hog,
or
die
Just
me,
myself,
and
I
If
I
don't
work,
I'll
starve
to
death
It's
root,
hog,
or
die
Now
I
ain't
young
and
pretty
There's
no
twinkling
in
my
eye
Cause
since
I
met
that
travelin'
man
It's
root,
hog
or
die
Root,
hog,
or
die
Root,
hog,
or
die
Cause
since
I
met
that
travelin'
man
It's
root,
hog
or
die
