Fiddler's Green - Haul Away, Joe lyrics

When I was a little boy
Well 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

King Louis was the King of
France before the revolution
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
And then he got his head cut off
It spoiled his constitution
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Well, the cook is in the galley
Making duff so handily
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
And the captain's in his cabin
Drinking wine and brandy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Will we haul away
We'll haul and hang together
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
Will we haul away
We're bound for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Once I had an English girl
She was fat and lazy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
Now I got an Irish girl
She drives me damn near crazy
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
She stole my watch and money
But she's the girl I fancy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Way, haul away, the good ship now is rolling
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

Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
