tow rope girls - the jolly rogers lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s a ship in the tropics, rolling along
with every stitch drawing, the wind blowing strong
the white caps around her, breaking in spray
those girls have got hold of our tow*rope today!
[verse 2]
she’s logging sixteen as she speeds from the south
the wind in her royals, a bone in her mouth
with a wake like a mill*race she speeds on her way
those girls have got hold of out tow*rope today!
[chorus]
oh, and it’s haul away, girls, steady and true
polly and dolly and sally and sue
mothers and sisters**sweethearts and all
it’s haul away, all the way, haul away, haul, and haul!
[verse 3]
of cargoes and charters we’ve had our full share
of grain and of lumber**enough and to spare
of nitrates at taltal and rice for bombay
those girls have got hold of our tow*rope today!
[verse 4]
don’t you hear the good trade winds a*singing aloud
a homeward bounty shanty in the sheets and the shroud
oh, hear how she whistles in the halyards and stays
those girls have got hold of our tow*rope today!
[chorus]
oh, and it’s haul away, girls, steady and true
polly and dolly and sally and sue
mothers and sisters**sweethearts and all
it’s haul away, all the way, haul away, haul, and haul!
[verse 5]
and it’s oh, for the chops of the channel at last
and the cheer that goes up when the tug hawser’s cast
the mate’s “that’ll do” and fourteen months’ pay
those girls have got hold of our tow*rope today!
[chorus]
oh, and it’s haul away, girls, steady and true
polly and dolly and sally and sue
mothers and sisters**sweethearts and all
it’s haul away, all the way, haul away, haul!
and it’s haul away, girls, steady and true
polly and dolly and sally and sue
mothers and sisters**sweethearts and all
it’s haul away, all the way, haul away, haul!
and it’s haul away, girls, steady and true
polly and dolly and sally and sue
mothers and sisters**sweethearts and all
it’s haul away, haul, haul away, haul!
haul away, haul!
