Hog-Eye Man
Hand me down my ridin' cane,
I'm gonna see my Liza Jane.
Chorus:
With a hog-eye, railroad navvy with a hog-eye.
Row ashore with your hog-eye-o,
She wants the hog-eye man.
It's a hog-eye boat and a hog-eye crew,
Hog-eye mate and skipper too
Chorus
The hog-eye man is on the go
When he comes down to old Frisco.
Chorus
Jenny's in the garden pickin' peas
Her long gold hair hangs down to her knees.
Chorus
Jenny's in the kitchen shuckin' peas,
A little hog-eye all settin' on her knee.
Chorus
Oh, who's been here since I've been gone ?
Some hog-eye sailor with his sea boots on.
Chorus
It's one more pull and that will do,
One more pull to kick her through.
Chorus
