Haul Away Joe
[Am]When I was a [Em]little lad,
And [Dm]so my mother told me
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
That [Am]if I did not [Em]kiss the girls
My [Dm]lips would grow all [Em]mouldy.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-]Em]way, [Am]Joe.
King [Am]Louis was the [Em]King of France
Be-[Dm]fore the revolution.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
But [Am]then he got his[Em] head cut off
Which [Dm]spoiled his consti-[Em]tution.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
Oh, [Am]once I had a [Em]German girl
And [Dm]she was fat and lazy,
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Then I got a [Em]Brooklyn gal,
She [Dm]damn near drove me [Em]crazy.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]So I got a [Em]Chinese girl
And [Dm]she was kind and tender,
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
And she [Am]left me for a [Em]Portugee,
So [Dm]young and rich and [Em]slender,
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way,
I'll [Dm]sing to you of Nancy.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way,
She's [Dm]just my cut and [Em]fancy.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
Oh, [Am]once I was in [Em]Ireland,
A-[Dm]digging turf and praties,
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
But [Am]now I'm in a [Em]Yankee ship
A-[Dm]hauling sheets and [Em]braces.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
The [Am]cook is in the [Em]galley,
[Dm]Making duff so handy,
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
And the [Am]captain's in his [Em]cabin
[Dm]Drinkin' wine and [Em]brandy.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way,
The [Dm]good ship is a-bowling
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way,
The [Dm]sheet is now a-[Em]blowing.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way,
We'll [Dm]haul away together.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way,
We'll [Dm]haul for better [Em]weather.
[Am]Way, haul a-[Em]way, we'll [Dm]haul a-[Em]way, [Am]Joe.
