Haul Away Joe<br />
Watch now<br />
This song is in a call and response style. A soloist or group of soloists and the rest of<br />
the ensemble respond with the parts in bold.<br />
Now when I was a little boy an’ so my mother told me,<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!<br />
That if I did not kiss the gals me lips would all grow mouldy.<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
‘Way haul away, the good ship now is rolling Jimmy!<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
And Louis was the king of France before the revolution<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
And when he got his head cut off, it spoilt his constitution<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
Now first I met a Yankee girl and she was fat and lazy<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
And then I met an Irish girl she dang near drove me crazy!<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
‘Way haul away, we’re bound for better weather<br />
‘Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!<br />
