When I was a little lad, so my mother told me
TIMMY
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
That if I did not kiss the girls my lips would all go moldy
TIMMY
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away haul away, we're bound for better weather
TIMMY
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Now first I met an English girl and she was fat and easy
TIMMY
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
And then I met an Irish girl, she damn near drove me crazy
TIMMY
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away haul away, This good ship now is rolling
TIMMY
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

Now first I met a squire who tried to start a revolution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe
And then he got his head chopped off it spoiled his constitution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe

Away haul away, we're bound for better weather
TIMMY
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe
