When I was a little lad and so me mother told me,
   Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
That if I did not kiss the girls me lips would grow all moldy.
   Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

   Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather.
   Way haul away, we'll haul away together.

King Louis was the king of France before the revolution.
And then he got his head chopped off which spoiled his constitution

Saint Patrick was a gentleman. He came from decent people.
He built a church in Dublin town and on it put a steeple.

Once I had a German girl but she was fat and lazy.
But now I got a Yankee girl, she damn near drives me crazy.
