Haul Away Joe

When I was a little lad And so my mother told me,
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
That if I did not kiss the gals Me lips would all grow moldy.
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
I sailed the seas for many years not knowing what I was missing
I set me sails afore the gales an’ started with the kissing

Way, haul away, the good ship is a-bolding,
Way, haul away, the sheet is now unfold-ing,

Now first I got a Spanish girl and she was fat an’ lazy
and then I got a Swedish lass she nearly drove me crazy

I found myself an Irish lass her name it was Molly
She stole my boots, stole my clothes, she stole me parrot polly

I courted then a Frenchy gal she took things free and easy
but now I have an English lass and sure she is a daisy

So list me boys I’ll sing to you about me darling Nancy
A coppered bottom clipper boys she’s just me style and fancy

King Louis was the king of France before the revolution…
But then he got his head cut off and sued for compensation,

The cook is in the galley boys making duff so handy
The captain's in his cabin lads Drinking wine and brandy

Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather…
Way, haul away, we'll haul away together
