(WINDLASS AND CAPSTAN.)
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 nig
ger,
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 Jen
ny's
in
the
gar
den
a-picking peas,
And her gol
den
hair's hang
ing
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.
