lyrics

Haul on the Bowline
traditional
Haul on the bowline Kitty is me darlin'
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline so early in the mornin'
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline before the day is dawnin'
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline the fore t'gallant bowline
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline the wind she is a-howlin'
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline the mate he is a-growlin'
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline we'll either break or bend it
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline we're men enough to mend it
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline we'll haul away together
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline we'll hang for better weather
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline the bonnie, bonnie bowline
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

Haul on the bowline up to the jaybird' altar
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

prettiest girl I ever saw was cruisin' on the water
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

I went down to New Orleans and got there on a Monday
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

threw me in the callaboose for drinkin' rum on Sunday
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul

haul on the bowline, the bowline, the bowline
Haul on the bowline, the bowline, haul
