Galway Girls

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