Haul Away Joe

When I was just a little lad or so me mammy told me

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

That if I didn't kiss the girls me lips would grow a-moldy

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul away together

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul for better weather

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

I used to have an English girl, but she got daft and lazy

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

But now I've got an Irish girl, and she just drives me crazy

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul away together

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul for better weather

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Old Louis was the king of France before the revolution

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

But then he got his head chopped off it spoiled his constitution

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul away together

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul for better weather

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

You call yourself a second mate, you cann'e tie a bowline

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

You can't even stand up straight, when the packet she's a rollin'

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul away together

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul for better weather

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Well now can't you see the black clouds a-gatherin'?

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Well now can't you see the storm clouds a-risin'?

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul away together

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away ho! Haul away, we'll haul for better weather

Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
