Lyrics for Song: Haul away, Joe
Lyrics for Album: The Shanty Book, Part I
1. Way, haul away, We'll haul away the bowlin'.
Way, haul away, Haul away Joe.
2. Way haul away. The packet is a-rollin'.
3. Way haul away. We'll hang and haul together.
4. Way haul away. We'll haul for better weather.
5. Once I had a nigger girl, and she was fat and lazy.
6. Then I had a Spanish girl, she nearly druv me crazy.
7. Geordie Charlton had a pig, and it was double jointed.
8. Hetook it to the blacksmith's shop to get its trotters pointed.
9. KingLouis was the king o' France before the Revolution.
10. KingLouis got his head cut off, and spoiled his Constitution.
11. Oh when I was a little boy and so my mother told me.
12. That if I didn't kiss the girls my lips would all go mouldy.
13. Oh once I had a scolding wife, she wasn't very civil.
14. I clapped a plaster on her mouth and sent her to the divvle. |
