 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
