Haul Away Joe Songtext
von Bounding Main

When I was a little lad my mother often told me

Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!

That if I did not kiss the girls my lips would grow all mouldy

Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe!
Way haul away, we′re bound for better weather
(tell em!)
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe!

I sailed the seas for many years not knowing what I was missing

Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe!

but then I got my self to shore and started into kissing
(tell me!)

Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!
Way haul away, we′re bound for better weather
(tell me!)
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe!


Though first I had a Spanish girl, but she was daft and lazy

Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!

Now I've got an Irish girl who damn near drives me crazy
(tell me!)

Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!
Way haul away, we're bound for better weather
(tell me!)
Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!

Well Louis was the king of France before the revolution

Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe

But then get got his head chopped off which spoilt his constitution

Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe!
Way haul away, we′re bound for better weather
(tell me!)
Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!


Way haul away, we'll haul away together!
Way haul away, we′ll haul away Joe!
