Haul Away, Joe (Traditional)                      
                                                  
When I was a little lad, my mother always told    
me, Way haul away, well haul away Joe. That if    
you never kiss the girls, your lips they will     
grow moldy. Way haul away, well haul away Joe.    
                                                  
King Louis was the king of France before the      
revolution, Way haul away, well haul away Joe.    
But the people chopped his head off, which        
spoiled his constitution. Way haul away, well     
haul away Joe.                                    
                                                  
Once I had a German girl, but she was fat and     
lazy, Way haul away, well haul away Joe. And      
then I got a New York girl, she damn near drove   
me crazy. Way haul away, well haul away Joe.      
                                                  
Way haul away, I'll sing to you of Nancy, Way     
haul away, well haul away Joe. Way haul away,     
she's just my cut and fancy. Way haul away, well  
haul away Joe.                                    
                                                  
Way haul away, we'll sail the seas together, Way  
haul away, well haul away Joe. Way haul away,     
we'll haul for better weather. Way haul away,     
well haul away Joe.
