Lyrics:
Chicken in the bread pan
Peckin' out dough,
Sally will your dog bite?
No, child, no.
Sally's in the garden,
Siftin' sand.
Sally's upstairs
With the Hog-eyed man.
Sally's in the garden,
Siftin', siftin'.
Sally's upstairs
With the Hog-eyed man.
Sally will your dog bite?
No, child, No.
Daddy cut his biter off
A long time ago.

Christeson's Old Time Fiddler's Repertory, vol. 1 (1973),<br> Slater's Clawhammer Banjo Solos (1979),<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995).<br> It was recorded by <br> John “Dad” Crockett on Mountain Fiddle Music, vol. 2 (originally recorded 1928),<br> Crockett's Kentucky Mountaineers on Kentucky Mountain Music vol 4 (2003),<br> John Cohen on Stories the Crow Told Me (1998),<br> John Burke and the Yankee Carpetbaggers on Old Fashioned Dance Music (1968),<br> John McCutcheon on The Wind That Shakes the Barley (1977),<br> Tracy Schwartz et al on Pickin' Around the Cookstove (1975), <br> Kretzner and Leibovitz on Dulcimer Fair (1981),<br> Dirk Powell & Tom Sauber on One Eyed Dog (1993) and others.<br>
