Victoria Nautical Song Circle's
June 2007 Song Of The Month

CAPE COD GIRLS

Cape Cod girls don't use no combs,
Haul away, haul away!
Combs their hair with codfish bones.
An' we're bound away to Australia!
 
Chorus:
Heave her up me bully, bully boys.
Haul away, haul away!
Heave her up and don't ye make no noise,
We're bound away to Australia!.
 
Cape Cod ladies don't have no frills,
Haul away, haul away!
Skinny and light as codfish gills
An' we're bound away to Australia!
 
Chorus
Cape Cod cats don't have no tails,
Haul away, haul away!
Lost them all in the southeast gales.
An' we're bound away to Australia!
 
Chorus
Cape Cod kids dont have no sleds
Haul away, haul away!
They slide down hills on codfish heads
An' we're bound away to Australia!
 
Chorus
Cape Cod folks don't have no ills,
Haul away, haul away!
Cape Cod doctors feed 'em codfish pills.
An' we're bound away to Australia!
