Part 1 — 11. The Hog’s-eye Man.

(WINDLASS AND CAPSTAN.)

[Listen]

1. Oh the hog's-eye man is the man for me, He were raised way down in Tennessee. Oh hog's eye, oh. Row the boat ashore for the hog's-eye. Steady on a jig with a hog's-eye oh, She wants the hog's-eye man.

2. Oh who's been here while I've been gone?

Söme big buck nigger, with his sea boots on?[3] 3. Oh bring me down mÿ riding cane, For I'm off to see my darling Jane.

4. Oh Jenny's in the garden a-picking peas,

And her golden hair's hanging down to her knees.

5. Oh a hog's-eye ship, and a hog's-eye crew, And a hog's-eye mate, and a skipper too.
