Haul Away Joe

Way haul away

We're bound for better weather,

And its way haul away

We'll haul away, Joe!

Running down the stormy sea

And rolling through the thunder

Way haul away, we're bound for better weather

It's every man aloft my boys

Or we'll be driven under

Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Way haul away

We're bound for better weather,

And its way haul away

We'll haul away, Joe!

For seven days and seven nights

We laboured to exhaustion

Way haul away, we're bound for better weather

But now the breezes from the east

Have turned around for Boston

Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Way haul away

We're bound for better weather,

And its way haul away

We'll haul away, Joe!

When I was a little boy

My mother she once told me

Way haul away, we're bound for better weather

That if I did not kiss the girls

My lips would all grow moldy

Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Way haul away

We're bound for better weather,

And its way haul away

We'll haul away, Joe!

The ragged heavens open up

We sound the jubilation

Way haul away, we're bound for better weather

The setting sun's a beacon boys

The sign of our salvation

Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Way haul away

We're bound for better weather,

And its way haul away

We'll haul away, Joe!
