When I was a little lad me mother often told me,

I got myself an Irish girl, her name is Kitty Finnigan
Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
She took me boat, she took me clothes, she took me plate and panickin'

Those Galway girls don't use no combs
Heave away, haul away
Combs their hair with the codfish bones
And we're bound away for the whalin'.
And heave 'er up me bally, bally boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave 'er up and don't ya make a noise
And we're bound away for the whalin'.

Heave away, haul away
All blowed off with the Northwest gails
And we're bound away for the whalin'.
And heave 'er up me bally, bally boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave 'er up and don't ya make a noise
And we're bound away for the whalin'.
