More detail on singing "Hog Eye" at the end of the North Carolina Convention of 1868.

Wyoming Democrat, 6 May 1868: 1.

//
Just prior to adjournment a “delegate” struck up “John Brown’s Body,” with great unction, lining out the song from a Freedman’s Bureau missionary hymn book. In joined the saints and up rose the chorus. At first the negroes in the gallery looked on in amaze, but pretty soon they too began to sing and the uproar grew tremendous. “Old John Brown” gave way to “Hail Columbia,” and that in turn to “O! say yeller gal can’t yer come out to-night,” and then all were swamped in the roaring air of “Hog Eye,” a favorite negro corn-shocking melody which begins “Sal’s in the garden siftin sand” and has for its second line a rhyme too indecent to repeat. Fired by this, the saints joined all hand round and executed a war dance to the chorus,

        “And a roly, sholy, bool,
                An a hog-eye,
        And a roly, sholy, bool,
                An a hog-eye.
        For Sal’s in de garden sifting sand,” &c.

        And thus did the North Carolina congressional redestruction “convention” disport itself in its closing hours.
