The Falmouth Packet / Haul Away Joe |
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 |
