Love is kind to the least of men
Haul awa', haul awa'
Though he be but a drunken tar
Haul awa'

Once I had a star-eyed maid
Haul awa', haul awa'
I was content with her to lay
Haul awa'

In the comfort of her bed
Haul awa', haul awa'
Let me lay until I'm dead
Haul awa'

Take my body to the shore
Haul awa', haul awa'
Star-eyed maid, I'll sail no more
Haul awa'

It's my sorry, let it be
Haul awa', haul awa'
May you love as she loved me
Haul awa'

Love is kind to the least of men
Haul awa', haul awa'
Though he be but a drunken tar
Haul awa'
