Haul Away Joe

Well when I was a little boy, although my father told me
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
That if i did not kiss the girls my lips would all grow mouldy
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe

Away, haul away, we're bound for better weather
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
Away, haul away, the ghost ship now is rolling
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe

He really was the king of grunt before the revolution
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
But then he got his head cut off and spilt his constitution
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe

Away, haul away, we're bound for better weather
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
Away, haul away, the ghost ship now is rolling
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe

Well first I met this Yankee girl, she came from New York City
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
But then I met this Irish girl, she near on drove me crazy
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe

Away, haul away, we're bound for better weather
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
Away, haul away, the ghost ship now is rolling
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe

Away! Haul away, we're bound for better weather
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe
Sing way! Haul away, the ghost ship now is rolling
Away, haul away, we'll haul away joe!
