Hogeye Man
(Trad)
Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me
Born and raised in Tennessee
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And now hand me down my riding cane
I'm off to see my darling, Jane
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And I went to the house where Jane did dwell
Knocked on the door and I rang her bell
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
Tell me who's been here since I been gone
A big fat navvy with his sea-boots on
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And I’ve never seen such a sight before
As the big fat navvy with his sea boots on
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And now, Sally's in the garden picking peas
Long yellow hair hanging down to her knees
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And now Sally’s in the kitchen, punching duff
The cheeks of her arse going chuff, chuff, chuff
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And now Sally's in the garden sifting sand
Jinny’s in bed with the hog-eye man
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
And I’ll never wed the girl, I’m damned if I do
Got jiggers on her feet and she don’t wear shoes
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
We’re a hog-eye ship with a hoy-eye crew
A hog eye mate and the old man too
With your hog-eye, row the boat ashore
With your hog-eye, steady on the jigger
With your hog-eye, oh!
She wants the hog eye man
