When I was a little lad or so my mammy told me, to me
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
That if I didn't kiss the girls, me lips would all grow moldy,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Way, haul away, we'll haul away together
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
For once i had an Irish girl but she got fat and lazy,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
For now i got an Cornish girl, and she can drive me mazy,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Way, haul away, we'll haul away together
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
King Louis was the king of France before the revolution,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
And then he got his head cut off, it spoiled his constitution,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Way, haul away, we'll haul away together
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
A hey cant you see the black clouds arising
A hey cant you see the storm clouds are gathering
Way, haul away, we'll haul away together
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
