Was a windless night
when you left the ship
You never were
a steady bold one
I gave my hand
Ah but you did slip
I’m a living man
and your a cold one
Haul away
Haul away from
My love’s as fair
as a girl can be
My wedding ring
is a heavy gold one
Now you lay alone
in the deep dark sea
I’m a living man
and your a cold one
Haul away
Haul away for home
The morning brings
Lord a fresh young breeze
to fill our sails
to end the doldrums
Our lucky ship
speeds across the sea
I’m a living man
and your a cold one
so haul away
haul away for home
