Goodbye and don't you cry
I'm going to Louisiana 
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
To buy to a dog and a muddy ol' hog and marry Susianna
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

My mother told me long ago she wished I'd be a lawyer
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Much to her chagrin I don't have an employer

Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away, we're bound for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Haul away Joe boys
Meeting on up with the old St. Croix
Keep a rowing me boys
It's a raftman's life for me
Haul away Joe boys
Floating on down the Illinois  
Keep a rowing me boys
It's a raftman's life for me

Toy cars and candy bars are just a waste of money
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Cornbread is all you need with butter beans and honey
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Sing a song and get along way down to Sarasota
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Then hop a barge up through the Arch and back to Minnesota 
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Way, haul away, we're bound for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!

Haul away Joe boys
Meeting on up with the old St. Croix
Keep a rowing me boys
It's a raftman's life for me
Haul away Joe boys
Floating on down the Illinois  
Keep a rowing me boys
It's a raftman's life for me

Keep a rowing me boys
It's a raftman's life for me
