Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wind’s in the west and the dawn runs gray
Bread’s gone hard and the rum’s run away
Captain’s glare like a storm in his eye
He points to the line and he hollers “Heave high!”
[Chorus]
Haul her home
Boys
Haul her home
Drag that rope till your fingers foam
One more pull and the white waves moan
Haul
Boys
Haul her home
[Verse 2]
Tom left a girl in a blue-checked dress
Said he’d be back when the sea said “yes”
Three long years and the mail came thin
So he spits in his hands and he leans again
[Chorus]
Haul her home
Boys
Haul her home
Drag that rope till your fingers foam
One more pull and the white waves moan
Haul
Boys
Haul her home
[Verse 3]
If the keel runs true and the stars don’t lie
We’ll see smoke curl where the chimneys rise
Till that bell rings out from the harbor stone
We bite down pain and we haul her home
[Chorus]
Haul her home
Boys
Haul her home
Drag that rope till your fingers foam
One more pull and the white waves moan
Haul
Boys
Haul her home

Style
Raw, unaccompanied male vocals in a traditional call-style sea shanty, stamped single-beat pulse from the singer’s foot. Verses stay low and storytelling; chorus jumps a bit higher and louder, with strong chest voice and open vowels. Slight rasp on sustained words, roomy tavern-like ambience, dynamics rising each chorus then easing back for the last verse., shanty
