ZachWeinersmith, So, there's this old ballad, meant to be sung as a duet. There's one line that I never quite understood, which is "you know a hog must root." See:
My initial guess was it's the woman in the story describing that she wants her home a certain way, same as a pig wants its wallow a certain way. It occurred to me later that maybe the sense is more like "because I know you will never change."
Could be a sexual meaning, but given the rest of the song that seems unlikely?
