The Falmouth Packet/Haul Away - Show Of Hands

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
