Haul Away Joe

When I was a little boy
Or so my mother told me,
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

That if I did not kiss the girls,
My 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 a-flowing,
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
Not good for his constitution
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

First I had a Spanish girl
But she got fat and lazy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Now I have a Brooklyn girl
She damn near drives me crazy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, we'll haul and hang together
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away, we'll sail for better weather
And 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, for she's just my cut and fancy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, we'll haul away together (Joe)
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away, we'll sail through nasty weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away!
Way, haul away!
Way, haul away! We'll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away!
Way, haul away!
Way, haul away! We'll haul away, Joe!
