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

so haul away

haul away from here

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

so 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
