Subject: Lyr Add: HAUL, BROTHERS, HAUL (David Doersch)
So, now I've got the CD Tend the Fire, and here are the correct words.
Would you like a tune, anyone?

HAUL, BROTHERS HAUL
(by David Doersch)

We'll break the ice and haul away
So haul, brothers haul
No ship will come for many a more day
So haul, brothers haul

Oh, the snow has fallen so cold and grey
So haul, brothers, haul
But yule has come so we lengthen the day
So haul, brothers, haul.

For where's the coal for to light the fire
   To cook and heat and steam?
It's waiting in the Molly McGuire
So break the ice,
And hook the team
And haul, brothers, haul.

My father's back from Aberdeen
So haul, brothers, haul
It's Christmastide, he's wearing the green,
So haul, brothers, haul

Oh, my sister danced the Solstice, oh!
So haul brothers haul
She kissed a man 'neath the mistletoe
So haul, brothers, haul

For where's the coal for to light the fire
   To cook and heat and steam?
It's waiting in the Molly McGuire
So break the ice,
and hook the team
and haul, brothers, haul.
