Cyril Tawney - The Oggie Man

From ABC TV's Hullabaloo, 4th January 1964. (Presenter Rory McEwen.) Tawney had appeared on TV before, but those appearances seem not to have survived. He did not appear on record until 1966 on a compilation, and 1969 in his own right, but this song was written, along with many others, in the 1950s during his time in the Navy. Its subject is explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_T... This mesmerising and affecting performance is also notable for the guitar accompaniment - resembling (quite deliberately) the thrum of the engines on the ships and submarines Tawney served on. Well the rain's softly falling and the oggie 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 their stands across the way." Yes the rain's softly falling and the oggie man's no more. It was here that she told me when she bade me good bye "There's no one will miss you one half as much as I. My love will endure, dear, like a beacon in the squall, Eternal as that oggie man beneath the dockyard wall" Well the rain's softly falling and the oggie man's no more.
