Haul Away Joe Songtext
von The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats

When I was a little lad, and so me mother told me
That if I did not kiss the girl, me lips would grow all moldy
Way, haul away, we′ll haul away, Joe

First, I met a Yankee girl, she was fat and lazy
Then, I met an Irish girl, she finally drove me crazy
Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

King Louis was the king of France before the revolution
But then he got his head cut off, which spoiled his constitution

Way haul away, we′ll haul away, Joe
Way haul away, we'll haul away, Joe


The cook is in the galley, boys, making duff so handy
The captain in his cabin lads, drinking wine and brandy
Way haul away, we're bound for better weather
Way haul away, we′ll haul away, Joe

Saint Patrick was a gentle man, he came from decent people
He built a church in Dublin town, and on it put a steeple
Way haul away, the good ship now is rolling
Way haul away, we′ll haul away, Joe

Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
Way, haul away, we′ll haul away, Joe
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe
