W:When I was a little lad and so my mother told me,

W:That if I did not kiss the girls, my lips would grow all moldy.
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
W:
W:Chorus:
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather.
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
W:[Way haul away, we'll haul away together.
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!]

W:King Louis was the king of France before the revolution.
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:I used to have a Yankee girl, but she was fat and lazy.
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
W:But now I've got an Irish girl, and she damn near drove me crazy.
W:Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
W:
W:Chorus

W:Chorus
