Oh, the hog-eye man is a man for me,
he was raised way down in Tenneessee.

Refrain:
With a hog-eye!
Roll the boat ashore with a hog-eye.
Row the boat ashore with a hog-eye,
all she wants is a hog-eye man

Oh. the hog-eye man is all to go,’
when he comes down to San Frisco.

Refrain

Go, fetch me down me riding cane,
for I’m going to see my darling Jane.

Refrain

Oh, who been here since I been gone?
Some big sailor with his sea-boots on.

Refrain

Oh, the hog-eye man is a man for me,
he was raised way down in Tenneessee.
