Haul Away Joe

When I was a little lad or so my mother told me
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
That if I disrespected girls my lips would grow all mouldy
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Way haul away, we'll haul away together
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
King Louis was the king of France, before the revolution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
And then he had his head cut off which spoiled his constitution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Way haul away, we'll haul away together
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
The cook is in the galley making duff so handy
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
The captain's in his cabin drinking wine and brandy
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Way haul away, we'll haul away together
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
