Every once in a while I listen to “Hog-Eye Man”, a fine sea shanty. Lots of versions online:

youtube.com/watch?v=gfMhy-Er-_
youtube.com/watch?v=uCIM_shahk

But… it’s noted as one of the filthiest shanties ever collected.

Of course, every published and recorded version is cleaned up! Ass-cheeks and bit of double entendre are all that remain. (Maybe the N-word if you go back to 1960.)

I have been curious about the truly filthy original version for *years*. Never found it.

1960s collections that have short versions:

archive.org/details/americanso

N-word warning for both of these. These days people sing “navvy” but that’s a substitution.

But you wouldn’t have to censor the sexy lyrics these days! If anybody *had* them. I’ve got “The Good Ship Venus” on CD, for heaven’s sake.
