Haul Away Joe Songtext
von The Clancy Brothers & Robbie O’Connell

When I was a little boy, so my mother told me, to me
Way haul away, We′ll haul away Joe

That if I did not kiss the girls, my lips would all grow moldy, to me
Way haul away, We'll haul away Joe


Way haul away, the good ship now is rollin′, to me
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

And then he got his head cut off, it spoiled his constitution
Way haul away, We′ll haul away Joe

Now first I met a Yankee girl and she was fat and lazy, to me
Way haul away, We′ll haul away Joe,
And then I met an Irish girl, she damn near drove me crazy, to me
Way haul away, We'll haul away Joe
Way haul away, we′re bound for better weather, to me
Way haul away, We'll haul away Joe
