Haul Away Joe

Music: Traditional
Lyrics: Traditional

Grungy white line

When I was just a little lad or so me mummy told me, to me

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

That if I did not kiss the girls me lips would grow all mouldy, to me

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

[chorus]

Away! (Hey!)

Haul way, we’ll haul away together

Way Haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

Now first I had a Yankee girl and she was fat and lazy, to me

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

And then I had an Irish girl she damn near drove me crazy, to me

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

[chorus]

Away! (Hey!)

Haul way, we’ll haul away together

Way Haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

Now the cook is in the skully making broth so bully, to me

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

And the Captain’s in the galley drinking Rum and Brandy, to me

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

[chorus]

Away! (Hey!)

Haul way, we’ll haul away together

Way Haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

Now King Louis was the King of France before the revolut-i-on

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

And then he got his head chopped off and it spoiled his constitut-i-on

Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

[chorus]

Away! (Hey!)

Haul way, we’ll haul away together

Way Haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

 

[chorus]

Away! (Hey!)

Haul way, we’ll haul away together

Way Haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
