Lyr Req: Haul, Brothers, Haul (Coyote Run)

I heard this on Fiona Ritchie a couple weeks back and would really like to learn it. I see I can get the CD from Amazon and will -- but is there any chance I can get the lyrics and maybe even a sound file before that? Haven't found it so far.
Blessings,
Barbara

The playlist for The Thistle and the Shamrock on December 2, 2010 tells me that HAUL, BROTHERS, HAUL was performed by Coyote Run on their album "Tend the Fire" (2005), published by Run Wild Records. It even gives a link to Coyote Run's web site.

Unfortunately, I can't find any mention of HAUL, BROTHERS, HAUL there. It doesn't even give a track list for "Tend the Fire."

I failed to find any lyrics or sound samples.

I noticed that, thanks Jim. I did find the CD and order it from Amazon, but I was hoping to learn the song for the new year, and odds are it won't show up in my mailbox until I'm back home from the SF club's New Years campout. Dang. I thought it was possible someone on t'other side of the pond might know the song and be willing to share.
Blessings,
Barbara

Aha! but since I posted this the first time, they've added streaming audio for that show, so I can hear it and maybe pick it up to learn.
Thanks, Jim for the nudge.
Blessings,
Barbara

Here's what I get listening to the streaming audio -- it's at 32:00 if you want to try. Couple phrases I'm not sure about.


HAUL BROTHERS HAUL Shanty
(Coyote Run)


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

Oh, the snow has fallen so cold and gray
so haul brothers haul
But yule had come way late in 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,
unhook the team
and haul, brothers, haul.

Oh, my father's back from Aberdeen
So haul brothers haul
It's Christmas time, he's wearing the green,
So haul brothers haul

Oh, my sister danced the Solstice slow
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,
unhook the team
and Haul, brothers, haul.

Barbara

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.
