| 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 the girls, my lips would grow all moldy | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
| King Louis was the King of France before the revolution | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe, | |
| But then he got his head cut off which spoiled his constitution | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
| Once I had a BC girl and she was fat and lazy | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe, | |
| Then I got an Alberta girl, she damn near drove me crazy | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
| So I got a Newfy girl and she was kind and tender | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe, | |
| She left me for a Quebecois, so young and rich and slender | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
| 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. | |
| O once I was in Ireland a-digging turf and praties | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe, | |
| But now I'm in a Yankee ship, a-hauling on sheets and braces | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
| 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 rum and brandy | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
| Way haul away, the good ship is a-bowling | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe, | |
| Way haul away, the sheet is now a blowing | |
| 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 away together | |
| Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. | |
