Haul Away Joe

Singing away! Hey! haul away, we’ll haul away together

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

Singing Away! Hey! haul away, we’ll haul for better weather…

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

When I was a little lad

And so my mother told me

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

That if I did not kiss the gals

Me lips would grow all moldy

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

[ CHORUS ]

I used to have an Irish girl 

but I got fat and lazy

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

But now I’ve got a Bristol girl 

and she just drives me crazy

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

[ CHORUS ]

The cook is in the galley boys

Making duff so handy

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

The captain’s in his cabin lads

Drinking wine and brandy

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

[ CHORUS ]

King Lou-ie, was the king of France

Before the revolu-ti-on…

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

But then he got his head cut off

Which spoiled his con-sti-tu-ti-on…

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

[ CHORUS ]

Ya call yourself a “Second Mate”

ya cann’e tie a bowlin’

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

You can’t even stand up straight

when the packet, she’s a-rollin’

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

[ CHORUS ]

Well now can’t ya see, 

the black clouds a-gatherin’

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!

Well now can’t ya see, 

the storm clouds a-risin’

Way, haul away, 

we’ll haul away, Joe!
