Haul Away Joe (Sea Shanty) |
| When I was a little lad and so me mother told me |
| Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe |
| That if I did not kiss the girls me lips would grow all moldy |
| Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe |
| Way haul away, we’re bound for better weather |
| Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe |
| Way haul away, we’ll haul away together |
| Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe |
| King Louis was the king of France before the revolution |
| And then he got his head chopped off. |
| It spoiled his constitution |
| Saint Patrick was a gentleman. |
| He came from decent people |
| He built a church in Dublintown and on it put a steeple |
| Once I was in Ireland a’digging turf and taties |
| But now I’m on a Yankee ship a haulin' on the braces |
| Once I had a German girl, but she was fat and lazy |
| But now I got an Irish girl. |
| She damn near drove me crazy |
| Way haul away, rock and roll me over |
| Way haul away, well roll me in the clover |
