Haul Away, Joe - Lyrics
1. Hey don't you see that black cloud arising? Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Hey don't you see that black cloud arising? Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
2. When I was a little boy, and so my mother told me,
That if I didn't kiss the girls my lips would grow all mouldy.
3. I sailed the seas for years, I never knew what I was missing,
But then I set my sails afore the gales and started kissing.
4. I found myself a Yankee girl who wasn't very civil.
She dragged me round her chambers, nearly sent me to the divil.
5. Then I got a London girl who might have been called Daisy.
I thought I wouldn't like her but she damned near drove me crazy.
6. I've sailed across the seas, me boys, on ships both neat and handy.
I've fought, I cursed, I've fainted, been restored with rum and brandy.
7. Once I was in Ireland, digging turf and tatties.
Now I'm on a Limejuice ship, hauling on the braces.
8. Louis was the king of France, before the revolution.
The people cut his head, and it spoiled his constitution.
9. Saint Patrick was a gentleman, he came from decent people.
Then we went to Dublin and he built a church and steeple.
10. Then he drove the snakes away and drank up all the whisky.
It made him dance and made him sing and made him free and frisky.
11. You call yourself a second mate, but you cannot tie a bowline.
You cannot even stand up straight when the packet gets a-rolling. - Розваги
It's crazy how much Sean Dagher has done to spread love for shanties. All my buddies and I can trace our love of them directly to AC4, and we get together every week to sing (2m apart in the forest these days...).
If any of you get the chance to see him or one of his projects live I strongly recommend it. I saw La Nef in Vancouver last year and it was absolutely incredible.
Hi Hugo. Nice to hear from someone who was at that show in Vancouver, which was the last one before the world shut down. It was really incredible for us to get to sing with the huge choir, too.
I'm glad you've found a style of music that you like and especially one that gets you singing with friends. what a great result.
I can't take the credit for that, though. I got hired to sing on a gig. The first one I sang on with the guys was AC3, where we were soldiers, sailors, and tavern musicians. The sailor songs proved so popular that Ubisoft made a central focus of Black Flag. I guess if we had done a shitty job on AC3 then they wouldn't have made BF that way, so maybe it is partly because of us. The singers on AC3 were me, Nils Brown, and John Wiens. John didn't do any more after that.
Thanks for your message. Seán.
Shanty of the week makes me smile every time. Thank you!
That's really nice to hear. My first goal is to make people sing, then to make them smile.
@@SeanDagher Both goals accomplished--I'll be singing this one all day long AND smiling.
Glad you included the King Louis line, always gives me a chuckle due to how ridiculous the rhyme is.
Yeah, I almost left it out because I didn't know how I wanted to pronounce it, but in the end I couldn't bear the thought of not having it in there. And the "constitution" pun is irresistible.
@@SeanDagher as a French that line always made me smile . Glad to hear it here !
Man, you have such a charm! I'm binging this series after a year of watching them on & off for a year or so.
You know, I never would have found my love for this without AC. I know you probably get tired of hearing that but.. fuck. This is a genre of music I never knew I needed.
Thank you for keeping it alive.
I never get tired of hearing about people having their horizons expanded through music. I'm glad you like the music.
That AC3 version was so marvelous. And the crew dancing..
I don't remember the AC3 version. I"m going to go look it up. Was it me singing, or Nils?
it was a miss type I'm assuming he probably meant AC4
This always makes my Tuesday thanks Sean
@@schizoidfortune7568 Maybe, but we did sing a bunch of these for AC3.
@@SeanDagher This shanty wasn't on AC3 or 4. He must've mixed it up with Haul on the Bowline (which is a song I hope you plan on singing soon on Shanty of the Week).
Loved every episode so far.
The Louis line has always been my favorite for how random it is. But now that second Saint Patrick's like has me laughing
There are so so many great lines in this song.
Such a great shantie with such a great voice! Keep up the good work and thanks for everything!
Thanks, Nico. I'm glad you like the music.
I've looked for a couple years now to find haul away joe that wasn't only a minute and 30 seconds long thank you so much for giving such a great version of it sean ! I'll be singing along !
This being a short haul shanty it is harder to find longer versions.
I love the emotion you put in to the shanties Sean. Fantastic as ever!
Thanks, Nip. Yeah this one took a lot out of me. I really had to rest up during those refrains that I didn't sing. I wouldn't have made it to the end otherwise.
A couple of weeks ago I was telling my grandsons that whale ships could have sung this as they hauled the blankets of blubber up and over the side of the ships. The historical interpreter and.I sang this to demonstrate to the other guests. It was a great time and my grandsons have a better knowledge of our heritage.
That's amazing. They are very lucky.
@@SeanDagher i am a descendent of yankee whalers. So shanties are a part of that heritage
I keep saying each one is my new favourite but I think this one my new new new favourite...for now ;)
I hope to have a new favourite for you next week.
St Patrick was that lad of a kind, indeed. But I like that pun on "spoiled constitution", too. As well as irony in sending to the devil (down) and Daisy's name as from the pushing up daisies (meaning dead, so up from down below). :)
Good one. I hadn't thought of the Daisy one. I chose that name to rhyme with crazy. You have really good theories.
I need the pub life to go back to "normal" just so I can blast those songs !
The dream...
Other versions of this song i've hear throw in a "To Me" or "Tubby" after the "We'll haul away, Joe" Line, so Consti tu-ti-on may be the way one shanty man sang it, and as sailors from his ship went on to other vessels, and were given the Shanty Man role, and it just grew from there. it is important to note that the ammount of history we have written down is insignificant compared to the history that is oral. Oral history changes so often it becomes frustrating to follow.
This is my all time favorite shanty thank you for singing this! I also love that you're educating us on how best to follow your singing. Thank you from some guy from Missouri who yearns to see the sea.
Thanks, Joseph. I'm glad you like the music. The best way to follow is while gesticulating wildly, obviously.
Lovely rendition of the tune! Prattie is actually an anglicised version of the Gaeilge (Irish language) for potato - prátaí (prawe-tee phonetically )
If Sean was singing shanty’s I’d heave and haul til I died
Sang the crud out of this one! Thank you Sean!
Don't swear.
Shanty-time! A bit more complicated, but amazing to sing along :D
Merry Christmas by the way...since we can't sing with our families, we'll just sing on front of our screens. I know those aren't exactly christmas songs but still...^^
You can do it.
Great stuff. I remember asking you how to pronounce your name a few years back. I thought it was DAH-GER (me being from Boston of course!)
You said that you heard it pronounced that way from your distant relatives in Lawrence, but you always pronounced it DAY-GER.
Im happy I found your music again!
Hi Duke. Welcome back. Yes, I remember that exchange, now that you mention it. I'm glad you like the music.
BRILLIANT....LOVE YOUR HUMOUR.....HUGE APPLAUSE..XX
THANKS HELEN
This week was amazing, I love all the facts keep it up!
Thanks, Sauce. I'll keep it going as long as I can.
Excellent. And they loved the freeze frame at the end.
I'm going to have to go look it up because I can't remember.
@@SeanDagher You lost the final video so you just had a freeze frame of yourself. They thought it was funny,
@@darthlaurel I just re-watched that part. Silliness. I think I might actually have forgotten to record that part and taken the audio from the previous week. I'd have to go compare the audio. Or maybe not. It was a while ago.
Epic one! These songs are relaxing and Give you a Lot of energy at the same time :)
Funny how it can be both simultaneously.
I love this one
Thanks, Ajay. I'm glad you like it.
Its beautiful ive listened to your channel for 5 hours now
Welcome aboard! I'm glad you have been perusing!
Brilliant as always,sir
Thanks AZ.
Wow! Just found your videos. Love it!!!
Thanks, Mark.
I love how you did this one. 👏
Thanks. Good tune.
Great job as usual Mr. Dagher!
Thanks Mr. Law.
Amazing song, my favorite
I'm glad you like it!
Its always nice waking up to shanty of the week
Good morning.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks1 Same to you.
Keep these legendary shanties going kind sir
I'm going to keep it going as long as I can!
Beautiful shanty. Keep up the amazing work 👍
Thanks, Rene. I'll keep rolling along.
I imagine pratie comes from prátaí, which is potatoes, as Gaelige, in Irish. Either way loving the videos.
Thanks, John. Thanks for the info on the word and thanks for the support.
Just found my way here an oh how happy I am.
Glad you made it. Welcome.
Your Shanties are awesome, thank you for your work and research! Good motivation while on my rowing machine! Please continue your work, so I can have "washboard" abs!
Awesome. Work songs for working out. Perfect.
Great song and singing! Also, great instrument choices added to the wall!
Thanks. I'm running out of new instruments for the wall, but I did just remember another one that hasn't appeared yet. A strange one.
@@SeanDagher I can’t wait to see it!
Am I the only one that blasts these videos full sound and tries to sing on the first try?
I'll have my whole village singing by summer!
I hope you are not the only one. And I hope you get the whole village singing!
Woohoo! Early Christmas present!
Happy Merry.
@@SeanDagher Hope you'll have a good time during the holidays
Looks like Sean had a bit of fun with this one!
I always do. But yes, I really enjoyed this song.
Hey nice one again. Im always looking foward to the next one. And me and my wife are always amazed by your growing beard. I hope she will gave me your songs from patreon as a Christmas presant. We will soon know about it. Wish you some nice holidays.
Thanks, Finn. I'm glad you like it. And I hope you get a nice gift.
👏👏👏👏🤩
The storys in this one are very cool and funny ^^ i like it very much. Btw your beard gets better every week! Wish i could grow one like that! :D
Time for a trim.
This one has a really superb character
The song, not the singer.
Shantyman: you cannot even tie a bowline!
Sean Dagher: now you can
You're welcome.
This mans facial hair was sculpted by gods.
You should see my moustache insurance bills.
Does Eric great job. Always a funny tune to get a crowd going
Who is Eric?
@@SeanDagher auto type. It's supposed to say another great job
The pronounciation of "revolut-ion" could be a pigeon-english type of situation, between english and french? In the french you hear the pronounciation of "ion" more clearly. That was more common in older english anyway, which was more akin to french. If it was a mixed crew these kinds of bleedover effects must have been common.
It could also just be a funny way to make the song sound more rustic and old, which is a common trope in these songs. Sentences like "them coconut fronds" and "A wealth of hair was on her head", must have been archaic already when they were written :-)
All good theories. We do it now because it's funny, or something. Must always have been the case.
Nice work! The Clancy Brothers inspired me to write me own Shanty, but I'm havin' troubles wit the Canadian copywrigt site.
Hmm, it can be tricky. Do you mean you're having trouble copywriting it or that Socan is claiming that somebody else owns your song?
@@SeanDagher I absolutely own the song.(The words came while I was drunk) At first, I couldn't sign in, to the site, then once I was able to sign in, I was unable to download the .pdf payment form and my Adobe DC is up to date. The shanty is about the waters where I grew up off Southern Cape Breton. Just gotta keep trying, I guess.
@@renemarchand5082 Try calling them. Is it Socan? They're kind of hard to deal with these days.
You should do the cruel wars next
I'll put it on the list.
Song starts at 1:36
Fact.
love you man keep up the grate work always look forward for it
joe
Thanks, Joe. I'm glad you like it.
I needed that so bad right now idk i was just so bored
Perfect timing.
Lol the closeup on your beard 💛
Sea’n, I have been learning this from you but I cannot decipher some of your lyrics. Would you mind filling in my missing lyrics between “Ive sailed across the seas” ??????? and “Once I was in Ireland” I have everything else learnt. Ta very much
Hi Neville. You'll find the lyrics in the video description at the bottom. Good job learning the tune!
Fred Dibner 0f the sea shanty world
Dibnah? He seems like a fine guy to be compared to. I'll take it as a compliment.
@@SeanDagher Not only linguistics but spelling as well.
Enjoying your show
Awesome shanties man, btw how was the omegle site? Hopefully nothing bad came of it. It would be awesome if you recorded a video of talking and singing for different people.
I haven't been yet. My daughter tells me I'm too old and will be completely ignored.
@@SeanDagher its alright but keep doing what makes you happy.
Is it possible to send in videos of singing Shantys?
Absolutely. You can contact me via the Bandcamp page: seandagher.bandcamp.com
I am eager to hear what you send,
Let me know you buy a boat! I’ll sign up for that crew.
Yes. Buy me a boat.
I have a request, can you do the wellerman sea shanty?
There are great versions of that by The Longest Johns and by Nathan Evans so I think I'll leave it for now. Good song, though.
Sorry Sean Pratie is not an "informal term for potato" The proper spelling is prátaí and it is literally the Gaeilge (Irish) word for potato.
do you make up these songs?
No. They are traditional anonymous songs that I have adapted and arranged.
Nice mustache
It's fake.
First I married n English gurl,
She was fat n lazy,
Way haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe
Then I married n Amish gurl
She drove me dam near crazy;
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe.
My father was an Amish bishop, these are the words he taught me;
And it is true, that my given name’s Joe.
I love it. That's the beauty of these songs: that you can tailor them to whatever situation.
Are those real moustache?
Fake. I glue it on before the filming.
@@SeanDagher and why do you glue it? Can you make a video without the moustache?
@@user-sy2mb9ic7q he is joking!!
Not gonna lie...definitely didn’t expect your speaking voice to be that different from your singing voice
It always surprises me too.
Can you make a video without the moustache
I'm not allowed. It's in my contract to never appear in public without it. I don't mind, really. It keeps me anonymous.
