Railroad navvy with his sea-boots on [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man [Verse 5] If I catch him here with Sally once more I'll sling my hook, go to sea once more [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man [Verse 6] Oh, Sally's in the garden sifting sand The hog-eye man sitting hand in hand [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man [Verse 7] Oh, Sally's in the garden punching duff Cheeks of her arse go chuff, chuff, chuff [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man [Verse 8] Oh, I won't bear a hog-eye, damned if I do Got chiggers in his feet and he can't wear shoes [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man [Verse 9] Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me He is blind and he cannot see [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man [Verse 10] Oh, a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew Hog-eye mate and a skipper too [Chorus] And a hog-eye Railroad navvy with his hog-eye Steady on the jig with a hog-eye Oh, she wants the hog-eye man
