Hog Eye ManOh, hand me down my riding caneI'm off to meet my darlin' Jane With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me He was born and raised in Tennessee! With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, he came to the shack where Sally did dwell He knocked on the door and he rung the bell With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, who's been here since I been gone A railroad navvy with his sea-boots on With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, Sally's in the garden sifting sand The hog-eye man sittin' hand in hand With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, Sally's in the garden, shelling peas Her long yellow hair hangin' down to her knees With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, I won't wear a hog-eye, damned if I do Got jiggers in his feet and he can't wear shoes! With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Oh, a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew A hog-eyed mate and a skipper too With a hog-eye, oh Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh She wants the hog-eyed man! |
