[chorus]
haul away the bowline, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, we’re here to make your pay
never mind the weather, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, get cracking on your way

[verse 1]
god has laid his table out, we all know where we sit
the captain’s in the carver chair, the first mate’s at his hip
the bosun’s by the fireside, the surgeon’s tucked up warm
and we’re all on the upper deck fighting through the storm

[chorus]
hup!
haul away the bowline, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, we’re here to make your pay
never mind the weather, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, get cracking on your way

[verse 2]
kitty’s in the marketplace, maude is in the town
when we get to port again, we’ll dance them ladies ’round (hoo!)
when we’ve had our fun ash0r-, our money spent with glee
we’ll pack our bags, be off again, once more on the sea

[chorus]
hup!
haul away the bowline, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, we’re here to make your pay
never mind the weather, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, get cracking on your way

[verse 3]
me mother often told me, when i was just a lad (aww!)
never go to sea, me boy, you’ll end up old and sad (he did!)
you’ll spend your life upon a ship, so little on the sh0r-
a gypsy of the waves, me lad, don’t go to sea no more

[chorus]
hup!
haul away the bowline, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, we’re here to make your pay
never mind the weather, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, get cracking on your way

[verse 4]
i went on board a-thinking that i would see the world
riches an’ good fortune, all would be unfurled
but many years of sailing ‘as taught one thing to me
all men are born equal, ‘cept scurvy dogs like me

[chorus]
ho!
haul away the bowline, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, we’re here to make your pay
never mind the weather, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, get cracking on your way

haul away the bowline, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, we’re here to make your pay
never mind the weather, boys, haul away today
haul away the bowline, boys, the old man said “belay!”
