Marc Gunn - Haul Away Joe (Sea Shanty) lyrics

When I was a little lad and so me mother told me Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe That if I did not kiss the girls me lips would grow all moldy Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe Way haul away, we're bound for better weather Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe Way haul away, we'll haul away together Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe King Louis was the king of France before the revolution And then he got his head chopped off. It spoiled his constitution Saint Patrick was a gentleman. He came from decent people He built a church in Dublintown and on it put a steeple Once I was in Ireland a'digging turf and taties But now I'm on a Yankee ship a haulin' on the braces Once I had a German girl, but she was fat and lazy But now I got an Irish girl. She damn near drove me crazy Way haul away, rock and roll me over Way haul away, well roll me in the clover
