And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man

The hog-eye man is the man for me
He came sailing over from the wild, wild seas

And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man

Oh, he came to a shack where Sally did dwell
He knocked on the door and he did it well

And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man

Oh, who's been here since I been gone?
Oh, a big buck sailor with his sea boots on
If I catch him here with me Sally any more
I'll sling my hook, and I’ll go to sea some more

And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man

And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye
Hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man

Oh, I won't wed a hog eye, I’m damned if I do
Got jiggers in his feet and he can’t wear a shoe

And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man

Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me
For he is blind and he cannot see

Oh, a hog eye ship and a hog-eye crew
A hog eye mate and a skipper too

And a hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye
Hog eye
Railroad bully with his hog eye
Steady on the jig with a hog eye-o
She wants the hog eye man
