Lyrics

When I was a little lad, and so me father told me
Way, haul away, haul away, heave ho
That if I didn’t fight the crown, the crown would surely own me
Way, haul away, oh, haul away Joe
Way, haul away, oh haul away Joe

Franklin’s Yanks are payin’ gold to join their revolution
Way, haul away, haul away, heave ho
Sinkin georgies navy, we’ll spoil his constitution
Way, haul away, oh, haul away joe

Cap’n Ryan signed us on, from Dublin, we were hailin’
Way haul away, haul away, heave ho!
We Crewed upon the Black prince, and then we got ta’ sailin’
Way, haul away, oh, haul away joe

Haul away…haul away...we’re bound for better weather
Haul away (HEY!) haul away (HEY!) haul away-hey, heave ho
Haul away...haul away...and we’ll all go down together
Haul away (HEY!) haul away (HEY!) oh, haul away, joe

From Stornoway to Morlaix and Dunkirk up to Orkney
Way, haul away, haul away, heave ho
We’ll commandeer a hundred ships and sink seven-forty
Way, haul away, oh, haul away Joe

The black dog is burnin’, and the hangin’ judge is fleein’
Way, haul away, haul away, heave ho
A Black Fleet broadside, now that’s a sight for seein’
Way, haul away, oh, haul away, Joe

Haul away….haul away...we’re bound for better weather
Haul away (HEY!) haul away (HEY!) haul away-hey, heave ho
Haul away...haul away...and we’ll all go down together
Haul away (HEY!) haul away (HEY!) oh, haul away, joe

Way, haul away, we’re bound for better weather
Way, haul away, haul away, heave ho
Way, haul away, we’ll all go down together
Way haul away, oh, haul away Joe

Hoist up the colors, and load the guns for war
I’ll be a pirate….until I am no more
