Here is the text published on the OAK Leadbelly songbook (but please, don't forget to help me with the text of the other recording of this song by Leadbelly). Thanks. R

Haul Away Joe

Way haul away, we'll haul a-way Joe
The big Katy Adams sailing up the Gulf of Mexico
Way haul away, we'll haul a-way Joe

Chorus:
Way haul away, we'll haul for better weather
Way haul away, we'll haul a-way Joe

I'm sailin' up the Mississippi in the big Chief Adams

Chorus

Way haul away, we'll haulm for stormy weather

Chorus

I was sailin' up the Mexico and Hona-lu-la

Chorus

Way haul away for better weather

Chorus

I'm a-sailin' up the river in the big Chief Adams

Chorus

I think I heard the captain say boy, you better work in a hurry!

Chorus
