Gareth-

We got a charge when we were moored at a more public dock singing "Friggin' in the Riggin'" as "Singin' in the Riggin'", and whoever "slipped" on a verse had to buy the next round ashore.

G. Legman, the late editor mentioned above, provided examples of bawdy phrasing for "The Hog-Eyed Man" for the verses that are usually sung:

Sally's in the garden, a-pickin' peas,
An' the hair of her head hangin' down to her knees...

Sally's in the garden, shiftin' sand,
An' the hog-eye man sittin' hand-in-hand...

In Hugill's uncensored manuscript the verses ran:

Sally's in the garden, a-pickin' peas,
An' the hair of her snatch hangin' down to her knees...

Sally's in the garden, shiftin' sand,
With a fathom of dillywacker in her hand...

It would be nice to have more access to uncensored sets of verses, but I doubt if many of us would be bold enough, or rude enough, to sing them for a typical public performance.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
