Haul Away Joe—Shanty
Bob Roberts

For once I had an Irish girl but she was fat and lazy.
Away—haul away—O haul away—Joe.
And now I've got a Suffolk girl she drives me nearly crazy.
Away—haul away—O haul away—Joe.

For girls were made to love and kiss.
King Louis was the king of France before the revolution,
King Louis got his head cut off and spoilt his constitution.

O away—haul away—we'll haul all on the bowlin,
Away—haul away—we'll haul away—Joe
Way—haul away—the packet she's a-rolling.
