Haul Away Joe 

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

Haul away or Long drag shanty 

Away, haul away Oh haul away together

Away haul away, Oh haul away Joe

When I was a little lad , my mother told me

Away, haul away Oh haul away together

If I did not kiss the girls my lips they would grow moldy

Away haul away, Oh haul away Joe

First I had a Spanish girl but she was fat and lazy

Away, Haul away, haul away together

But now I’ve got an Irish girl , she damn near drives me crazy

Away haul away, Oh haul away Joe

 

Away haul away , haul away together

Away haul away , Oh haul away , Joe

King Louis was the king of France before the revo lution

Away haul away haul away together

The people chopped his head off which spoiled his consti - tu – tion

Away, haul away, Oh haul away Joe

Away, haul away , ahead for stormy weather

Away ,haul away, Oh haul away Joe
