Haul Away Joe

Oh, When I was a little lad,
My parents were so scoldy.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
But if I did not kiss the girls,
My lips would soon grow moldy.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus:
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away together,
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul for finer weather,
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Well, first I had a Spanish gal,
But she was fat and lazy.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Then I had an Irish girl,
She nearly drove me crazy.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus

Next I had an English girl,
But she would not be civil.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
I put my dagger in her back
And sent her to the devil.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus

Oh, listen while I tell you
About my darlin' Nancy.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
She's copper-bottomed, clipper built,
Mighty fine and fancy.
Hey, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus
