Burl Ives - Haul Away, Joe 



When I was a little lad 

And so me mother told me 

Chorus: ‘Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. 

That if I ever kissed a gal 

My lips would all grow moldy 

Chorus: ‘Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. 



Chorus: ‘Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather 

‘Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe. 



Once I had a Southern gal 

But she was fat and lazy. 

But now I got a Yankee girl 

And she is just a daisy. 



King Louis was the King of France 

Before the Revolution. 

King Louis got his head cut off 

Which spoiled his constitution. 



Saint Patrick was a gentleman: 

He came from decent people. 

He built a church in Dublin town 

And on it put a steeple. 



The cook is in the galley now 

A-making duck so handy. 

The captain's in the cabin now 

A-drinkin' wine and brandy.
