Haul Away

Mark Knopfler

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
