Haul Away Joe - Cromdale

When I was a little lad

And so my mother told me

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

That if I did not kiss the gals

Me lips would all grow moldy

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, the good ship is a-bolding

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, the sheet is now unfold-ing

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!

But then he got his head cut off

Which spoiled his constitution…

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!

Way haul away, we’ll haul away together

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

The cook is in the galley boys

Making duff so handy

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

The captain’s in his cabin lads

Drinking wine and brandy

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, I’ll sing to you of Nancy…

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, she’s just my cut and fancy…

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!

Way haul away, we’ll haul away together

Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
