Jean Ritchie
Old Bangum
[Verse 1]
Bangum rid by the riverside
Dillum down dillum
Three young ladies there he spied
Dillum down dillum

[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn

[Verse 2]
There's a wild boar in these woods
Dillum down dillum
Who'll eat his meat, 'll suck his blood?
Dillum down dillum

[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn

[Verse 3]
If you would this wild boar see
Dillum down dillum
Blow a blast, he'll come to thee
Dillum down dillum
[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn

[Verse 4]
Slapped the horn into his mouth
Dillum down dillum
Blew a blast both north and south
Dillum down dillum

[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn

[Verse 5]
Wild boar come in such a rush
Dillum down dillum
Split his way through oak and ash
Dillum down dillum

[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn

[Verse 6]
Fit four hours by the day
Dillum down dillum
At last the wild boar run away
Dillum down dillum
[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn

[Verse 7]
Old Bangum follered him to his den
Dillum down dillum
And saw the bones of a thousand men
Dillum down dillum

[Chorus]
Killy ko cuddle down
Killy ko corn
