Lyrics The Falmouth Packet/Haul Away - Show Of Hands

The Falmouth Packet/Haul Away

I ran away from padstow town
And shipped aboard a whaler
Way haul away, We’ll haul away Joe
Because the girl i courted there
Would only have a sailor
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
Oh give to me a Cornishman
To ate a tatty pasty
And if it’s inside «most cold beef»
He’ll never think it nasty
Away haul away
We’ll haul away together
Way haul away
We’ll hunt for better weather
King Louis was the king of France
Before the revolution
He went and got his head chopped off
Which spoiled his constitution
