Hog Eye Man Lyrics by The Longest Johns
Oh, hand me down my riding cane
I’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-eye 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-eye 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-eye 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-eye 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-eye 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-eye 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-eye 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-eye man
Steady on the jig with a hog-eye, oh
She wants the hog-eye man
