Haul Away Joe

Haul Away Joe

Well when I was a little boy

Although my father told me

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

That if I did not kiss the girls

My lips would all grow mouldy

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, we’re bound for better weather

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, that good ship now is rolling

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

King Louis was the king of France

Before the revolution

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

But then he got his head cut off

It spoilt his constitution

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, we’re bound for better weather

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, the good ship now is rolling

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Well first I met this Yankee girl

She came from New York City

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

But then I met this Irish girl

And she near on drove me crazy

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, we’re bound for better weather

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, the good ship now is rolling

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, we’re bound for better weather

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Away haul away, the good ship now is rolling

Away haul away, we’ll haul away Joe
