Haul Away For Rosie
2
Were you ever down on the Eastern Shore,
3
It really is a treat, Oh!
4
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie
5
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie, Oh.
6
Where the Baltimore whores in their purple drawers
7
Come runnin' out to greet you.
8
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie
9
Way, haul away, we'll haul away for Rosie, Oh.
10
Oh, when I was a little boy
11
My mother often told me;
12
That If I didn't kiss the girls
13
My lips would all get mouldy.
14
I sailed the seas for seven years
15
Not knowin' what I was missin';
16
Then I trimmed my sails before the gales
17
And started in a-kissin'.
18
Well, first I had an Irish gal,
19
Her name was Kitty Brannigan;
20
She stole me boots, she stole me clothes
21
She pinched me plate and pannikin.
22
And then I got a German girl
23
And she was fat and lazy,
24
And then I got a New York girl
25
She damn near drove me crazy.
26
And then I got a Frenchie girl
27
She took things free and aisy;
28
But now I have an English girl
29
An' sure she is a daisy.
30
So harken while I sing to you
31
About my darlin' Nancy;
32
She's copper-bottomed, clipper-built
33
And just my cut and fancy.
34
Well, once in my life I married a wife
35
And Damn! But she was lazy;
36
She never worked a day in her life,
37
Which damn near drove me crazy.
38
She stayed out all night, a Hell of a sight!
39
And where do you think I found 'er?
40
Behind the pump, the story goes,
41
With forty men around 'er.
42
You call yerself a second mate,
43
An' cannot tie a bowline;
44
You cannot even stand up straight
45
When the packet she's a rollin'.
