Westering ho with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of my heart my own love
Tell me a tale of the orient gay
Tell me of riches that come from Cathay
Ah but it's grand to be waken at day
And find oneself nearer to mylay
Westering ho with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of me heart my own love
Where are the folks like the folks in the west
Canty and boonty and kindly, our best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At home wi' my own folks in mylay
Westering ho with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of me heart my own love
Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way
And bring back my fortune to mylay
Westering ho with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of me heart my own love
When I was a little lad, so my mother told me,
TOLD ME
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
That if I did not kiss the girls my lips would all go moldy.
TOLD ME
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Away haul away, we're bound for better weather.
TOLD ME
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Now first I met an English girl and she was fat and easy.
TOLD ME
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
And then I met an Irish girl, she d*** near drove me crazy.
TOLD ME
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Away haul away, This good ship now is rollin'
TOLD ME
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Now first I met a squire who tried to start a revolution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
And then he got his head cut off it spoiled his constitution
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Away haul away, we're bound for better weather.
TOLD ME
Away haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
