Haul Away Joe

About

When I was a little lad and so me mother told me,
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
That if I did not kiss the girls me lips would grow all moldy.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus:
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather.
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Way haul away, we'll haul away together.
Away 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.
And then he got his head chopped off it spoiled his constitution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus

Saint Patrick was a gentleman. He came from decent people.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
He built a church in Dublin town and on it put a steeple.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus

Once I was in Ireland a'digging turf and taties.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
But now I'm on a Yankee ship a'hauling on the braces.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus

Once I had a German girl but she was fat and lazy.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
But now I got a Yankee girl, she damn near drives me crazy.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Chorus

Way haul away, rock and roll me over
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Way haul away, well roll me in the clover.
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
