Mark Knopfler - Haul Away

 

It 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 you?re a cold one
Haul away, haul away for home

My love?s as fair as a girl can be
My wedding ring is a heavy gold one
Now you lie alone in the deep dark sea
I?m a living man and you?re a cold one
Haul away, haul away for home

The morning brings, Lord, a fresh young breeze
To fill our sails and end the doldrums
Our lucky ship speeds across the sea
I?m a living man and you?re a cold one
So haul away, haul away for home
