Victoria Nautical Song Circle's
September 2005 Song Of The Month


HAUL ON THE BOWLINE

(Short Drag Shanty)
Haul on the bowlin', our bully ship's a-rollin'.
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
Haul on the bowlin', the top and the main sail bowlin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
 
Haul on the bowlin', Kitty is my darling
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
Haul on the bowlin', Kitty lives in Liverpool,
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
 
Haul on the bowlin', the old man is a-growlin'.
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
Haul on the bowlin', it's a far cry to payday.
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
 
Haul on the bowlin', so early in the mornin'.
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
Haul on the bowlin', so early in the mornin'
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul.
