Haul Away Joe	[play] [print]
(Trad)

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 mouldy, to me Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe Way haul away The good ship now is rolling, to me Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe First I met a Yankee girl And she was fat and lazy, to me Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe Then I met an Irish girl She damn near drove me crazy, to me Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe King Louis was the king of France Before the revolution, to me Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe And then he got his head cut off It spoiled his constitution, 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
