Crane Driver	Lyr Req: Time now to leave you (Tony Rose?) (7)	RE: Lyr Req: Time now to leave you (Tony Rose?)	23 Apr 10
More likely to be the "Farewell Shanty": THE FAREWELL SHANTY It's time to go now. Haul away your anchor. Haul away your anchor. 'Tis our sailing time. Get some sail upon her. Haul away your halyards. Haul away your halyards. 'Tis our sailing time. Get her on her course now. Haul away your foresheets. Haul away your foresheets. 'Tis our sailing time. Waves are breaking under. Haul away down-channel. Haul away down-channel. On the evening tide. When my time is over. Haul away for Heaven. Haul away for Heaven. God be at my side. Usually attributed to Mervyn Vincent but apparently only popularised by him in the 60s. See the Digital Tradition and threads on the song for more detail. Andrew
