Hog-Eye Man Lyrics

Oh, hand me down my riding cane
I'm off to meet my darling Jane
(refrain)
And a hog-eye

Railroad navvy with his hog-eye

Steady on the jig with a hog-eye

Oh, she wants the hog-eye man
Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me
Sailing down from Wallslough sea
(refrain)
Oh, he come to the shack where Sally did dwell
He knocked on the door and he rung her bell
(refrain)
Oh, who's been here since I been gone?
Railroad navvy with his sea-boots on
(refrain)
If I catch him here with Sally once more
I'll sling my hook, go to sea once more
(refrain)
Oh, Sally's in the garden sifting sand
The hog-eye man sitting hand in hand
(refrain)
Oh, Sally's in the garden punching duff
Cheeks of her a*** go chuff, chuff, chuff
(refrain)
Oh, I won't bear a hog-eye, d***ed if I do
Got chiggers in his feet and he can't wear shoes
(refrain)
Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me
He is blind and he cannot see
(refrain)
Oh, a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew
Hog-eye mate and a skipper too
(refrain)
