Haul Away Joe
When I was a little lad me mother often told me. To me!
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
That if I did not kiss the girls my lips would grow all moldy. To me!
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus:
Way haul away, we'll all haul together,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Well first I had an yankee girl but she was fat and lazy. To me !
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Then I met an Irish girl she damn near drove me crazy. To me !
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus
Next I met an English girl and she was nice and sassy. To me!
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Now I've got a frenchy gal, and she is nice and classy. To me!
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus
Ch: Way haul away, the good ship now is rollin'. To me !
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Way haul away, them Cape Horn gales are blowin'.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus
King Louie was the king of France before the revolution.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
But then he got his head chopped off which spoiled his constitution.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus
