Thread Name: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
Subject: RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
There was good old times in Salt Lake
That never can pass by,
It was there I first spied
My China girl called Wi.
She could smile, she could chuckle,
She could roll her hog eye;
Then it's whack the cattle on, boys,—
Root hog or die.
