Haul Away Joe

When I was a little boy, so my mother told me, (to me)
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
That if I didn’t kiss the girls, my lips would all grow moldy
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away (Ho!) haul away, we’ll haul away together 
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

I used to have an Irish girl, but she got fat and lazy
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
But now I've got a Bristol girl, and she just drives me crazy
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away (Ho!) haul away, we’ll haul away together 
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Old Louis was the King of France before the revolut-i-on
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
And then he got his head cut off, it spoiled his constitut-i-on
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away (Ho!) haul away, we’ll haul away together 
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

You call yourself a second mate, you cannae tie a bowline
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
You can't even stand up straight, when the packet she's a rollin'
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away (Ho!) haul away, we’ll haul away together 
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Well now can't you see the black clouds a-gatherin'
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
Well now can't you see the storm clouds a-risin'
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away (Ho!) haul away, we’ll haul away together 
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
