Haul on the bowline, Kitty is my darlin'
  Haul on the bowline, the bowline Haul!

Haul on the bowline, Kitty lives in Liverpool

Haul on the bowline, so early in the mornin'

Haul on the bowline, the old man is a-growlin

Haul on the bowline, the sooner we get going

Haul on the bowline, the soner we comes home again

Haul on the bowline, it’s a weary way to Liverpool

Haul on the bowline, it's a far cry to payday
