[Verse 1] My gramma told of a relative Whose name is Uncle Pig He didn't live too far away, so I thought I'd take a trip His porch was leaned and saggin' Yard filled with tires and dead cars I knocked once, then I heard him laugh He said, "Come on in my girl" [Pre-Chorus] He opened up the screen door slow In a shirt that hadn't seen clean in years And the smell hit hard like a sledge hammer What am I doing here? [Chorus] Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig Lord he lives up to his name Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig What an untidy mess he is (Oh, Uncle Pig) Filthy clothes and a big wide grin Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig I came here for family, to meet my long lost kin [Verse 2] There was a dirty plate on a broken chair Chicken bones and a carburetor in the sink A newspaper from last fall Place had a pig sty vibe, I think He said "I'm glad you came here I don't get too many callers" I was not surprised to hear that But I kept my mouth shut [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Take that seat right there" Pointing to a box by the door I moved two cats and a lawn mower engine And said, "Thanks, but I'll just stand" [Chorus] Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig Lord he lives up to his name Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig What an untidy mess he is (Oh, Uncle Pig) Filthy clothes and a big wide grin Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig I came here for family, to meet my long lost kin [Bridge] He poured sweet tea into a jelly jar And laughed till his shoulders shook Said, "Blood is blood, and kin is kin" Then he showed me an old family book I got to know him well that day He told stories and we laughed A little dirt didn't get in the way He's a slob with a kingsize soul And I told him I'd be back again [Final Chorus] Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig Lord he lives up to his name Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig What an untidy mess he is (Oh, Uncle Pig) Filthy clothes and a big wide grin Uncle Pig, Uncle Pig I came to see family, and left with a friend
