Ox Eyed Man  trad  

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

The ox-eyed man is the man for me,
He came a sailing from over the sea
High ho for the ox-eyed man

Oh, May in the garden a shelling her peas,
And bird singing gaily among the trees.
High ho for the ox-eyed man.

Oh, May looked up and she saw her fate
In the ox-eyed man passing by the gate
High ho for the ox-eyed man.

The ox-eyed man gave a fond look of love,
And charmed May's heart which was pure as a dove,
High ho for the ox-eyed man.

Oh, May in the parlor a sitting on his knee,
And kissing the sailor who'd come o'er the sea
High ho for the ox-eyed man.

Oh, May in the garden a-shelling her peas,
Now weeps for the sailor who sailed over the sea.
High ho for the ox-eyed man
