Lyrics:

When I was just a lil' lad, or so me mammy told me
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe
That if I didnt kiss the girls, me lips would go all mouldy
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe

[Chorus]
Away! Haul! Well-haul-away-together
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe
Away! Haul! All-Away-well-haul-for better weather
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe

King Louis was the king of France, before the revolu-ti-on
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe
But then he got his head cut off and spoiled his constitu-ti-on
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe

[Chorus]

Oh once I had an Irish girl, but she got fat and lazy
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe
And now I have a Cornish and gee she drives me crazy
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe

[Chorus]

Eh cant you see? The black clouds arising
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe
Eh cant see? The storm clouds are gathering
Away-haul-away, well-haul-away-joe

[Chorus]
