12 Jan 02 - 03:49 AM (#626439) Subject: Hogeyed man From: QRS I wonder if anyone out there know of any recording of this song? I have searched alot for it, but I can´t find any. I have the lyrics, but I don´t really remember the melody. I heard it on a gig with a band called "Quilty" In Sweden a few years back. They have not recorded it though. Any help would be appreciated. Regards QRS |

12 Jan 02 - 04:58 AM (#626455) Subject: RE: Hogeyed man From: QRS Yes that´s the one! Your text differ some from the one I have, but its the same song.
This is the one on the Mudcat database : HOG-EYE MAN The hog-eye man is the man for me, He came a sailin' from o'er the sea And a hog-eye! Railroad nigger with his Hog-Eye, Row the boat ashore with her Hog-Eye, Oh, What she wants is a Hog-Eye man! Oh Sally's in the garden pickin' peas, Her golden hair hangin' down to her knees. And hand me down my walkin' cane, I'm going to see Miss Sally Jane. Oh, the Hog-Eye man gave a fond look of love, And it charmed Sally's heart which is pure as a dove. Oh, and who's been here since I been gone, Some big buck nigger with his sea-boots on. If I catch him here with me Sally any more, I'll sling me hook and go to sea some more. Oh, Sally in the parlor a-sittin' on his knee, A-kissin' of the sailor who'd come o'er the sea. Sally in the garden siftin' sand, And the hog-eye man sittin' hand in hand. Sally in the garden pickin' peas, With a little hog-eye all sittin' on her knees. Sally in the kitchen, punchin' duff, And the cheeks of her arse goin' chuff, chuff, chuff Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me, For he is blind and he cannot see. Oh, in San Francisco, there she'll wait, For the hog-eye man to come through her gate. Oh, a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew, A hog-eye mate and a skipper too Now if I only could find a recording of this great song :) |

12 Jan 02 - 10:15 AM (#626549) Subject: RE: Hogeyed man From: Charley Noble The song you are after was recorded in 1983 by The Boarding Party on their fine album of the same name, subtitled: 'Tis Our Sailing Time, still available from Folk-Legacy Records on cassette and CD. Someone can provide a link and Sandy Paton, co-owner, is a Mudcat member and frequent contributor. |

12 Jan 02 - 11:55 AM (#626617) Subject: RE: Hogeyed man From: GUEST,Chuck Go to woodenshipsmusic.com. Choose Holdstock and Murphey from American artists. Hogseye Man is on their CD, "San Francisco Shanties And Seas Songs of California's Gold Rush." You can click on "Play Sample," to hear part of it. Catchy little tune. |

13 Jan 02 - 09:37 AM (#627032) Subject: RE: Hogeyed man From: Mike Byers A group called Hogeye Navvy has recorded Hog Eye Man on their CD "Based on a True Story". You can send an e-mail to MacBellner@excite.com or call (765) 349-1073 to order the CD. This is a particularly good version; one I like a lot. |

14 Jan 02 - 07:31 AM (#627532) Subject: RE: Hogeyed man From: pavane We used to sing it in Dubai, c1981. It was one of the very rare tunes in which I got to sing the lead. (I don't claim to be a singer). I am not sure where we got the words, (I think one of the other group members knew them) and they are not quite the same as the version above. For example Go hand me down me riding cane, for I'm off to meet my Black-eyed Jane (But we often sang LASH instead of MEET...maybe that was more authentic?) And Sally had Long Blond hair, not golden. But I suppose these were only details.
