  • Hogeye Navvy's version of this song is a hundred times better

  • While reading about sea chanteys called Hog Eyed Man. I was curious as to the meaning of "Hog Eyed Man". I learned that this phrase refers to the same thing as a one eyed snake, a sexual reference. Also original version of this sea chantey had the non PC inclusion of the "N" word..

  • hog eye was a type of shallow water ship used in rivers and lakes. "Hog eye man" was a dig by deep sea sailor at river sailors

  • Martin Carthy is perfection who the F *** is Marek Szurawski????

  • Marek Szurawski is a famous shantyman from Poland. He sang with Stan Hugill in 1985 in UK.

  • what is a hog eye?

  • Remix of Stan Hugil

  • Is this song related to the movie or is it just a fancy ...

    long life to the Carthy Family!

    please excuse my english.

  • Don't forget that Dylan wanted to meet Ralph McTell too...

  • This was the stand out song from the Rogues album, one man a fiddle and a few handclaps and he kicks everyone else on the albums a***. When Dylan first went to the UK in the early '60's one of the things he wanted to do was see Martin Carthy play.

  • @jumblyman I was also very fond of "Drop Of Nelson's Blood", "Fire Down Below" and "Bully In The Alley." I dont know dude there's a handful of good songs on that double disc.

  • @DrewBludd I personally liked Old Man of The Sea by Baby Gramps
