Haul Away lyrics

It 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 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 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
