Cool to find another version! Loving this and the Longest Johns version, too. Neat to see how the lyrics change based on who's singing it and why. Pretty funny that, where I come from in the midwestern US, calling someone a hog eye is equivalent to calling them an asshole (especially funny since Iowans are known as Hawkeyes, so easy to hide if you get caught).
I work for bath iron works in bath maine were in number one go to ship builders for the navy and all the gents jam to this at the yard yall keep us through the day!
@@stormweathershantychoir7613 thanks, 🌟😎👍🏼 Sea shanties is my favorite music alongside songs from the American civil war era and gold rush era . They all help me with my writing and give me story ideas and inspiration
Can someone explain what the lyrics mean? I love this kind of music but I have no idea what any of the idioms mean lol. Also how does this not have millions of views. It’s seriously the best thing I’ve heard all year!
Wow! Thanks! The meaning of the title is quite open for interpretation, it seems, but here is one explanation: A hog-eye was apparently a type of barge used in the canals and rivers of America from the 1850's onward. Thus, “hog-eye man” was used in derogation by the deep water sailors who used this chantey at the capstan.
What society thinks men want in music: "Country, Hard Rock, Metal, Hip-hop,etc...." What men really want: "And a railroad bully with his hog eye!!!!!!!" singing with his companions.
Thank you! The chords are: (Chorus) 2/4 | Gm | Gm |Gm | Gm |Bb C D (just the bass notes) | Gm F | Gm (Verse) |F | F | F | F |. The last chorus is | Gm | Gm F/A | Bb | Bb | Bb C D (just the bass notes) | Gm F | Gm | Good luck!
There's no reason why this has to sound this fucking beautiful and yet it does. Thank you
thanks!
Just saw this on Tiktok, I'll see you all in a million views time.
