Cruel |
| Cruel were my parents, to tear my love from me |
| Cruel was the pressgang that took him to the sea |
| Cruel was the little boat that rowed him off the strand |
| And cruel was the big ship, that took him from the land |
| Haul away, boys, haul away |
| Haul away, boys, haul away |
| Cruel was the water, that ship it sailed upon |
| Cruel was the fair wind, for now my loves he’s gone |
| Had you blown a roaring gale they’d have left him on dry land |
| Where he would walk besides me and I would hold his hand |
| Haul away boys, haul away |
| Haul away boys, haul away |
| The ring beneath my pillow, is the ring he gave to me |
| I’ll wear it on my finger, for all the world to see |
| But cruel was the captain, the bo’sun, and the men |
| For they didn’t give a farthing if I saw my love again |
| Haul away, boys, haul away |
| Haul away boys, haul away |
| Cruel were my parents, to tear my love from me |
| Cruel was the pressgang that took him to the sea |
| Cruel was the little boat that rowed him off the strand |
| And cruel was the big ship, that took him from the land |
| Haul away, boys, haul away |
| Haul away, boys, haul away |
