Haul On The Bowline lyrics

Haul On the Bowline

Haul on the bowline, our bully ship`s a-rollin`
Haul on the bowline, the bowline Haul!

Haul on the bowline, Kitty is my darlin`

Haul on the bowline, Kitty lives in Liverpool,

Haul on the bowline, the old man is a-growlin,

Haul on the bowline, so early in the mornin`

Haul on the bowline, it`s a far cry to payday,


Short-drag shanty. This may be one of the oldest around: the
bowline was a line used to pull the weather edge of a square sail
as far out to windward as possible when reaching. It was largely
obsoleted by the introduction of staysails in the early
eighteenth century.
Recorded by MacColl and Lloyd- Haul on the Bowline
