It's an old sea shanty

I made a misteak it was goin' chuff chuff not went chuff chuff chuff.

Hogeye Man--
"Sally's in the garden, shellin' peas;
Her long golden hair hangin' down to her knees.

(With a hogeye;
Railroad navvy with a hogeye.
Row ashore with a hogeye, oh,
She wants a hogeye man.)

"Sally's in the kitchen, makin' duff;
The cheeks of her arse goin' chuff, chuff, chuff."

Alison is right:

If he cracked a joke Then you chortled for days
