Harbor Haul Anthem

Ahoy, my brothers! (hey!)

The wind did howl,

the rafters shook

(haul away!)

We watched the bay from a tavern nook

(haul away home!)

One timber boat went out to sea But only the waves returned

to me

Haul away home, boys,

pull the rope tight!

(heave!) We’re dragging the ghost of the vessel tonight!

(heave!) Though the harbour is cold and the ocean is black We’ll

sing for the brothers who never came back!

The second boat was battered and torn (haul away!) She rode the

crest of the howling storm (haul away home!) With broken mast and

a ragged sail She broke the bar and survived the gale Haul

away home, boys, pull the rope tight!

(heave!) We’re dragging the ghost of the vessel tonight!

(heave!) Though the harbour is cold and the ocean is black We’ll

sing for the brothers who never came back!

So drag 'em in...

(pull!) Across the stone...

(pull!) Haul away

home (haul away home...)
