Lyrics The Oggie Man - June Tabor

Well the rain's softly falling and the oggy man's no more
I can't hear him calling like he used to before
As I pass through the gateway, I heard the sergeant say
The big boys are coming now, see their stand across the way
And the rain's softly falling and the oggy man's no more
The rain's softly falling and the oggy man's no more

It was there that she told me when she kissed me good bye
There's no one could love you not half as much as I
Our love will endure, dear, like a beacon in the squall
Is eternal as the oggy man beside the dockyard wall
But the rain's softly falling and the oggy man's no more
The rain's softly falling and the oggy man's no more.
