Oggy Man

Click to hear the song

Well rain is softly falling 

And the oggy man's no more

I can't hear him calling

Like I used to before.

I came through the gateway

and I heard the Sergeant say

The big boys are coming

See the stand across the way

well rain is softly falling

and the oggy mans no more

 

It was there, when she told me

as she bade me good bye.

There no one will love you,

not half as much as I.

My love will endure dear

like a beacon in the squall

Eternal as the oggy man

Beneath the dockyard wall

well rain is softly falling

and the oggy mans no more
