Men at Work
i You talk about your harbor girls Around the corner Sally.
Chorus:
Way, haul away, Haul away, my Rosy; Way, haul away, Haul away, my Johnsy-o.
2  They couldn't come to gee With the girls from Ruble
Alley.
3   I once had a French girl, But she was all a-posy.
4  Now, Pve got an English girl, I treat her like a lady.
5  When we sailed into Glasgow, I met a bonny lassie 5
She was handsome, young, and
fair, And sweet as Masses candy.
7  Oh, once I was in Ireland Digging turf and praties,
8  Now, Pm in a Yankee ship, A-hauling sheets and braces.
9  Oh, once I had an Irish girl And she was fat and lazy;
10  And next I got a German girl And she was fat and grazy,
11   And now Pve got a Yankee girl And she damn near drives me
crazy.
12  Then we sailed away from Liv-
erpool, Bound for Rio Janerio;
13  We loaded cargo there, my
boys, And we took it mighty easy.
14 Now, we're homeward bound again And we're feeling mighty easy.
[209]
