haul away for rosie - lloyd lyrics

haul away for rosie
were you ever down on the eastern sh-r-,
it really is a treat, oh!
way, haul away, we’ll haul away for rosie
way, haul away, we’ll haul away for rosie, oh.
where the baltimore wh-r-s in their purple drawers
come runnin’ out to greet you.
way, haul away, we’ll haul away for rosie
way, haul away, we’ll haul away for rosie, oh.
oh, when i was a little boy
my mother often told me;
that if i didn’t kiss the girls
my lips would all get mouldy.
i sailed the seas for seven years
not knowin’ what i was missin’;
then i trimmed my sails before the gales
and started in a-kissin’.
well, first i had an irish gal,
her name was kitty brannigan;
she stole me boots, she stole me clothes
she pinched me plate and pannikin.
and then i got a german girl
and she was fat and lazy,
and then i got a new york girl
she d-mn near drove me crazy.
and then i got a frenchie girl
she took things free and aisy;
but now i have an english girl
an’ sure she is a daisy.
so harken while i sing to you
about my darlin’ nancy;
she’s copper-bottomed, clipper-built
and just my cut and fancy.
well, once in my life i married a wife
and d-mn! but she was lazy;
she never worked a day in her life,
which d-mn near drove me crazy.
she stayed out all night, a h-ll of a sight!
and where do you think i found ‘er?
behind the pump, the story goes,
with forty men around ‘er.
you call yerself a second mate,
an’ cannot tie a bowline;
you cannot even stand up straight
when the packet she’s a rollin’.
collected, i believe, by a. l. lloyd; recorded by stu frank
verses are interchangeable with haul away, joe; these are a sort of
hash from r. greenhaus, d. diamond, s. hugill. first verse by (?) bob
hitchc-ck.
