Haul Away lyrics

Was a windless night

When you left the ship,

You never were

A steady bold one.

I gave my hand,

Ah, but you did slip,

I’m a living man,

And you're a cold one,

So haul away,

Haul away for home.

My love’s as fair

As a girl can be,

My wedding ring

Is a heavy gold one.

Now you lie alone

In the deep dark sea,

I’m a living man,

And you're a cold one,

So haul away,

Haul away for home.

The morning brings

Lord a fresh young breeze

To fill our sails

And end the doldrums.

Our lucky ship

Speeds across the sea,

I’m a living man

And you're a cold one,

So haul away,

Haul away for home.
