Subject: RE: Hogeye Navvy
Yep, I sure enough remember the 1960s and 70s (or at least parts of 'em). About the only reference to a "hogeye" I've found is a type of barge that was used off the California coast in the late 1800s. I believe there's also a similar chanty called "The Oxeye Man", so this is entirely a mystery to me.
