[I Had an Old Team]

I had an old team named Peddler and Joe,
Not a damned inch would the sons of bitches go!
	Twiddly dang!  Tiddly dang!

Joe, the old oft horse, he was black.
He had no hair on whole behind.
	Twiddly dang!  Tiddly dang!

Peddler, the old nigh mare, she was with foal.
You can see nine miles of her old asshole.
	Twiddly dang!  Tiddly dang!

	This is perhaps a fragment of a longer ballad.  It was  sung by William Bigford, then of Portland, Michigan, to Paul Gifford between 1975 and 1982.  For details about Bigford, a fiddle player, see the note to "Gilderoy."
