HAUL AWAY, JOE / OLD KING LOUIE
http://www.contemplator.com/sea/hauljoe.html
When I was a little lad
And so my mother told me,
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe,
That if I did not kiss a gal
My lips would grow all moldy,
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
Chorus
Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather,
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.
King Louis was the King of France
Before the Revolution,
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe,
King Louis got his head cut off
Which spoiled his constitution.
Way, haul away, we'll haul away Joe.

2) Once I knew a squire,
Tried to start a revolution (Timmy!)
Away, haul away. We'll haul away, Joe!
Oh, then he got his head cut off,
It spoiled his constitution.
Away, haul away. We'll haul away, Joe!
4) Pat Murphy was a friend of mine,
His wake was last September (Timmy!)
Away, haul away. We'll haul away, Joe!
They said I has a real good lime,
I wish I could remember (Timmy!)
Away, haul away. We'll haul away, Joe!

leadbelly's haul away joe
Way down in Missyrippi when the boats were overflowin'...
...up Canal Street, / Hear the boys cryin', ...
(Spoken: Sea shanty boys is workin'!)
Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way, haul away, we will haul away, Joe
Down in New Orleans, there a big ship driving over to Mexico
Boys say - Way, haul away, we will haul away, Joe
Down in New Orleans up Canal Street
There the boys cry - Way, haul away, we will haul away, Joe
Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe

Hmmmm, so where does "King Louis was the king of France before
the revolution" fit in?

You Went The Wrong Way, Old King Louie
by Allan Sherman
Louis the Sixteenth was the King of France in 1789.
He was worse than Louis the Fifteenth.
He was worse than Louis the Fourteenth.
He was worse than Louis the Thirteenth.
He was the worst since Louis the First.
King Louis was living like a king, but the people were living
rotten. So the people, they started an uprising which they
called the French Revolution, and of course you remember their
battle cry, which will never be forgotten:
You went the wrong way, Old King Louie.
You made the population cry.
'Cause all you did was sit and pet
With Marie Antoinette
In your place at Versailles.
And now the country's gone kablooie.
So we are giving you the air.
That oughta teach you not to
Spend all your time fooling 'round
At the Folies Bergere.
If you had been a nicer king,
We wouldn't do a thing,
But you were bad, you must admit.
We're gonna take you and the Queen
Down to the guillotine,
And shorten you a little bit.
To you King Louie we say fooey.
You disappointed all of France.
But then what else could we expect
From a king in silk stockings
And pink satin pants.
You filled your stomach with chop suey.
And also crepe suzettes and steak.
And when they told your wife Marie
That nobody had bread, she said
"Let 'em eat cake."
We're gonna take you and the Queen
Down to the guillotine,
It's somewhere in the heart of town.
And when that fella's through
With what he's gonna do,
You'll have no place to hang your crown.
You came the wrong way Old King Louie.
Now we must put you on the shelf.
That's why the people are revolting, 'cause Louie,
You're pretty revolting yourself!
