Hog-Eye Man
Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website
Oh go fetch me down my riding cane
For I'm goin' to see my darlin' Jane
With a hog-eye!
Railroad navvy with a Hog-Eye,
Row ashore with a Hog-Eye, Oh,
She wants the Hog-Eye man!
Oh Sally's in the garden pickin' peas,
Her golden hair hangin' down to her knees.
Sally in the garden shellin' peas,
With a little hog-eye all sittin' on her knee.
Sally in the kitchen, punchin' duff,
And the cheeks of her arse goin' chuff, chuff, chuff
Oh, and who's been here since I been gone,
Some railroad navvy with his sea-boots on.
Oh a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew
A hog-eye mate and skipper too
If I catch him here with me Sally any more,
I'll sling me hook and go to sea some more.
Oh, Sally in the parlor a-sittin' on his knee,
A-kissin' of the sailor who'd come o'er the sea.
Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me,
For he is blind and he cannot see.
