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 a girl my lips would go all mouldy
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away 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
King Louis was the king of France before the revoluti-on
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
King Louis got his head cut off which spoiled his constituti-on
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away 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
Oh, the cook is in the galley, making duff so handy
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
And the captain’s in his cabin drinking wine and brandy
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away 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
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away 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
