When I was just a little lad, Or so me mommy told me
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
That if I didn't kiss the girls me lips would grow moldy
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
**
Away!
Ho! Haul away, we'll haul away together
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Away!
Ho! Haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
King Louie was the king of France before the revolution
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
But then he got his head cut off and it spoiled his constitution
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
**
Once I had an Irish girl but she got fat and lazy
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
But now I've got a Cornish girl and she just drives me mazy
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
**
Hey, can't you see the black cloud are rising?
Away, haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Hey, can't you see the storm clouds are gathering
Away, haul away we'll haul away Joe
**
