[Verse 1] Down by the pines, three brothers built One made straw, one made sticks One laid brick in the red dirt dust Said, “Wolf can blow, but this one sits” A black-suit wolf came grinnin' wide With a tail like smoke and shoes like sin He knocked on the door of the straw house first And the little pig said, “Come on in” [Pre-Chorus] The first puff flew The roof gave way The second house shook Then bent all day [Chorus] Three pigs on, hold the line Three pigs on, just one more time Straw and sticks gonna fall tonight Brick house stands in the moonshine light Three pigs on, don't turn back Three pigs on, throw him off the track He can howl, he can blow, he can grin But he can't get through that brick again [Verse 2] Now the wolf done learned that wind won't win So he slicked his fur and he sweet-talked low He said, “Little pigs, I can be your friend” But his yellow eyes said, “I don't think so” He huffed at sticks till the porch boards cracked He coughed and snarled at the chimney cap Big brother laughed and stacked one more stone Said, “You came this far, now walk it back” [Pre-Chorus] The second roof cried The nails snapped tight But brick stayed proud In the firefly night [Chorus] Three pigs on, hold the line Three pigs on, just one more time Straw and sticks gonna fall tonight Brick house stands in the moonshine light Three pigs on, don't turn back Three pigs on, throw him off the track He can howl, he can blow, he can grin But he can't get through that brick again [Bridge] Then the wolf got mad, pawed the yard Said, “I’ll climb in, I’ll sneak, I’ll bite” But the eldest pig lit one porch lamp bright And the wolf saw truth in that porch light The smallest one said, “We ain’t afraid” The middle one said, “We built this right” Then three voices rang, clear as steel “Go run your mouth somewhere else tonight” [Final Chorus] Three pigs on, hold the line Three pigs on, just one more time Straw and sticks gonna fall tonight Brick house stands in the moonshine light Three pigs on, don't turn back Three pigs on, throw him off the track He can howl, he can blow, he can grin But he can't get through that brick again [Outro] He backed on down through the briar brush Tail tucked low and pride all gone And the three little pigs kept that house Kept that house, kept it strong
