She lies waiting at the quay Her masts reach to the sky Taking coal and bringing tea Next port of call Shanghai I came upon the Cutty Sark She’s waiting for a crew I’ll take my chance for rum and coin I’ve nothing else to do Haul away me hearties, haul away Through the rolling waves and flying spray This is how we spend our days with A tot of rum and not much pay Haul away me hearties haul away I’m just a poor sailor boy With nothing to my name No wife, no kids, no place to live Crewing ships is my game They signed me on the foremast watch We left on the rising tide With a Nor’East wind behind us Farewell to the green countryside Haul away me hearties, haul away Through rolling waves and flying spray This is how we spend our days with A tot of rum and not much pay Haul away me hearties, haul away She skims across the water Like an albatross in flight The crew fights her winter sails Through the day and night Haul away me hearties, haul away Through rolling waves and flying spray This is how we spend our days with A tot of rum and not much pay Haul away me hearties haul away Haul away me hearties haul away Haul away me hearties haul away
