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 stand across the way

And the rain's softly falling

And the Oggie Man's no more

It was there that she told me

When she bade me good bye

There's not one that 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

And the rain's softly falling

And the Oggie Man's no more
