Thread Name: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
Subject: RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
An anti-Union parody of "Hog Eye" from the Confederacy.
The Shreveport Semi-Weekly News, 3 June 1862: 4.
“Lincoln’s ‘Hog Eye’ Dream.”
AIR – “The Hog Eye.”
One night Abe Lincoln had a dream,
It was a mighty droll ‘un—
He thought he saw Potomac’s stream
With big black niggers rollin’.
Chorus—Row a boat ashore, de hog eye
Row a boat ashore, de hog eye
Row a boat ashore! de hog eye
Hurrah for Abram’s hog eye!
[etc]
