    I've also heard a hog eye refers to a flat bottomed river boat who just went between ports on a river so a hog eye man is a fake sailor.

      during the 1800s agriculture and River barge shipping were the two main sources of income in South Carolina where this was written

    Thank you so much! I grew up listening to Hog Eye Navvy and I'm so happy to be able to listen on youtube whenever I want. Thanks!

    THANK YOU: Great job! Most versions aren't as peppy and melodic as this one. The only other with a sound a little like this one is the X-Seamen in Heart of Oak, but I like your lyrics better. Will look for your performances in future! BTW folk, "hog eye" is often used to refer to the female apparatus -- according to the musico-historical boffins at Mudcat, although I think given the context of this song, it's debatable ;-)

    I always heard that a hog eye was the harpoon man on a whaling vessel.

    Lyrics
    Waterson:Carthy sing Hog-Eye Man
    Oh, hand me down my riding cane,
    I'm off to meet my darlin' Jane.
    Chorus (after each verse):
    And a hog-eye!
    Railroad navvy with his hog-eye,
    Steady on a jig with a hog-eye, oh,
    She wants the hog-eye man!
    Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me,
    Sailin' down from o'er the sea.
    Oh, he came to the shack where Sally did dwell,
    He knocked on the door, he rung a bell.
    Oh, who's been here since I been gone,
    Railroad navvy with his sea-boots on.
    If I catch him here with Sally once more,
    I'll sling me hook, go to sea once more.
    Oh, Sally's in the garden sifting sand,
    Her hog-eye man sittin' hand in hand.
    Oh, Sally's in the garden, punchin' dough,
    The cheeks of her arse go chuff, chuff, chuff!
    Oh, I won't wear a hog-eye, damned if I do,
    Got jiggers in his feet and he can't wear shoes.
    Oh, the hog-eye man is the man for me,
    He is blind and he cannot see.
    Oh, a hog-eye ship and a hog-eye crew,
    A hog-eye mate and a skipper too.

      Those ain't right, this version is different. It sounds something like
      "With a hog eye!
      Oh railroad navvy with a hog eye.
      Yo roll as sure with a hog eye yo.
      She wants a hog eye man"
