Lyrics
Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor Born in Ireland scandalously To a prosperous attorney He had an affair with the maid, Mary And I was their b*st*rd child So he hid me in sight in his employ And dressed me as a plucky boy But his wife saw through the shammy ploy And Pa was the shame of the town He wanted to Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor We upped and left on a stormy sea A new world, new life for me But me poor Ma died suddenly A pain I couldn't believe I was mad, I was out of control Lashing out with violent blows I was bad, with a storm in my soul Volatile as the sea I wanted to Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor Pa got rich in the sugar boom And harried me to marry soon Some boring, moneyed well-to-do But I'm not the genteel kind And that's when I met sailor Jim No wealth or rank or influence So Pa cut me inheritance When I swore to be his wife Now I never said that I loved him But little were my options I longed to sail on the ocean And Jim was living that life I wanted to Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul, haul, haul away Haul away the anchor
