Hog Eye Man

Hogeye Navvy

Oh the hog-eyed sailors roll and go When they come down to San Francisco

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with a hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

They off and hand and primed is he He’ll spend his money fast and free

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with a hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

He'll go and show where the girls do dwell, He'll hoist them high and ring their bell

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with a hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

Now Susie’s at the seaside sifting sand With a big old grin for a hog-eyed man

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

And Sally’s in the garden shelling peas Her little hog-eye is sitting on her knees

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

And Jenny is in the kitchen making dough The cheeks in her ass go chop chop chop

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

So it’s hand me down my walking cane For I’m going to see my darling Jane

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

Oh who's been there since I've been gone Some railroad navvy with his seaboots on

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man

It’s a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew A hog-eyed mate and skipper too

With a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Oh, you roll ashore with a hog-eye oh She wants the hog-eyed man
