1. |
When I was just a tiny lad, my dear old mother told me, |
|
| |
|
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe. |
|
| |
|
That if I never kiss'd a girl my lips would go all moldy. |
|
| |
|
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
2. |
So, when I kiss'd a pretty girl, I would have to tarry, |
|
| |
|
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe. |
|
| |
|
But girls don't want to kiss and run; they all would like to marry. |
|
| |
|
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
3. |
First I met a Yankee girl and she was fat and lazy, |
|
| |
|
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe. |
|
| |
|
And then I met an Irish girl, she nearly drove me crazy, |
|
| |
|
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe. |
|
| |

4. |
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. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
5. |
St. Patrick was a gentleman, he came form 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. |
