When I was a little lad and so me mother told me,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
That if I did not kiss the girls me lips would grow all moldy.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus:
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Way haul away, we'll haul away together.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
King Louis was the king of France before the revolution,
And then he got his head chopped off it spoiled his constitution
Saint Patrick was a gentleman. He came from decent people.
He built a church in Dublin town and on it put a steeple.
Once I was in Ireland a'digging turf and taties,
But now I'm on a Yankee ship a'hauling on the braces.
Once I had a German girl but she was fat and lazy,
But now I got a Yankee girl, she damn near drives me crazy.
The cook is in the galley boys making duff so handy,
The captain's in his cabin lads drinking wine and brandy.
Alternate chorus:
Way, haul away, I'll sing to you of Nancy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away, she's just my cut and fancy
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
