[Verse 1] Galway girls don't use no comb Heave away! Haul away! Well, they combs their hair with the codfish bone And we're bound away for the whaling! [Chorus] And it’s heave 'er up me, bully, bully boys! Heave away! Haul away! Heave 'er up and don’t you make a noise! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Verse 2] Them Galway boats don’t have no sails Heave away! Haul away! All blown off in the northwest gale And we're bound away for the whaling! [Chorus] And it’s heave 'er up me, bully, bully boys! Heave away! Haul away! Heave 'er up and don’t you make a noise! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Verse 3] My dear old mother she wrote to me Heave away! Haul away! Son, dear son, come home from sea! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Chorus] And it’s heave 'er up me, bully, bully boys! Heave away! Haul away! Heave 'er up and don’t you make a noise! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Verse 4] And it’s ‘round Cape Horn that we must go Heave away! Haul away! That is where them whale-fish blow! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Chorus] And it’s heave 'er up me, bully, bully boys! Heave away! Haul away! Heave 'er up and don’t you make a noise! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Verse 5] Them Galway girls don’t wear no clothes Heave away! Haul away! Galway city just as straight as she goes! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Chorus] And it’s heave 'er up me, bully, bully boys! Heave away! Haul away! Heave 'er up and don’t you make a noise! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Verse 6] And it’s one more pull and that will do Heave away! Haul away! We’re the boys to pull ‘er through! And we're bound away for the whaling! [Chorus] And it’s heave 'er up me, bully, bully boys! Heave away! Haul away! Heave 'er up and don’t you make a noise! And we're bound away for the whaling!
