Now it's three long years since we made her pay
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
And the owners say that she's had her day
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
So heave away now for the final trawl
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
It's an easy pull, for the catch is small
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
Stow your gear, lads, and batten down
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
And we'll say farewell to the fishing ground
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
We'll join the Venture and the Morning Star
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
Riding high and empty beyond the bar
Dm
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
For I'd rather beach her on the Skerry Rock
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
Than to see her torched on the breaker's dock
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
CDm7C
When I die, you can stow me down
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
In her rusty hold, where the breakers pound
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
Then I'll make a haven out of Fiddlers Green
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
Where the rum is good and the bunks are clean
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
I fished a lifetime, boy and man
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
And the final trawl scarcely makes a cran
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
[Verse]
CDm7C
Three long years since we made her pay
FC
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
G/BAmF
And the owners say that she's had her day
DmG
Sing “Haul away”, my laddie O
