Haul Away, Joe!
(traditional, arrang. J. Ferguson, Jan. 2014)
a cappella, 69 bpm
V1.
When I was a little boy, my mother she done told me,
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
that if I didn’t kiss the girls, me lips would all grow mouldy.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Chorus:
Way, haul away, we’re bound for better weather.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away, we’ll all haul off together.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
V2.
Well, first I met a Yankee girl, but she was fat and lazy.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Then I met an Irish girl; she damn near drove me crazy.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Chorus:
V3.
Well, Louis was the King of France before the revolution.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Then he got his head cut off: it spoiled his constitution.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Chorus:
V4.
St. Patrick was a gentleman; he came from decent people.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
In Dublin town he built a church and put on it a steeple.
Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
Chorus:

Thanks for listening. I don't work on the accents consciously. I'm simply influenced by the recordings I listen to, which are mostly by Irish and Scottish groups.
This song was sung by a sailor on the slave ship in Roots episode 1
I love this song! I'm actually working on a medley involving Haul Away Joe, Santi Ano, Bonnie, The Northwest Passage, The Captain's Daughter, and some POTC music, The Edmund Fitzgerald, and some of my own shanty songs.
learning this on mandolin and im actually gonna buy a bodrhan and learn to play thank you for peaking my intrest in celtic music again
I learned this song from listening to this video. It's still one of my favorites from you
Awesome as always!
This is fantastic!
Great performance.
Very impressive i was surprised when i heard your voice was so good
Jesse, you should do a version of
Roll the old Chariot
Leon Kennedy YES!! THAT WOULD BE SO AWEDOME
Oh I AGREE, that would be WONDERFUL!
Completely!
Top cover of a great song dude
Hmm, great singer! :)
Best version I ever heard bud.
I love tommy makem and the clancy brothers' version
I liked your other version but I like this one too. The other version was more Clancy Brothers and this one is slower and more traditional. It was a nice contrast :)
Would love to hear you do "dirty old town"
Hi Adam, I have a video on that on my channel.
Thanks for citing your source! (Though Clancys were a bit misguided with their "timme!" thing, haha) Yes, this is a more stately (and realistic) than your earlier YT version. Good on ya.
Not much of a song to sing by yourself, needs about six people, but good job. you've done really well on other songs as well!
@mymTHEgrey I'm glad you like it, Marie.
Whoah! I don't remember this comment I made! Your farther north than me!! Nyuk, Nyuk!
Clan Ferguson.
Any chance you might be at Sidmouth this summer? I'd love to see you live!!
Where did you go? You have a great voice.
Thanks, JG! I'm still here.
Superb drum handling if you'll take that compliment from a yank......
@joetubealong acctually then you should find someone hauwling on a line, but this is great
Being Irish Scottish here living in the north of England I want to ask you if you worked hard at your accents for the songs, which are pretty authentic.
@ea146810 No, it's not a "drinking shanty."
@ea146810 It's not. It's a working song, common ship builders and labourers.
@hultonclint I drink to this song
great vocal! awesome!
you need a beard ;)
hahahaha
get the beard back!
