[Intro]
Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1]
We're runnin' down a stormy sea and rollin' through the thunder
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe
It's ev'ry man aloft my, boys, or we'll be driven under
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe

[Chorus]
Way haul away; we're bound for better weather
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe

[Verse 2]
For seven days and seven nights we've labored to exhaustion
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe
But now the breeze is from the East; we'll come about for Boston
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe

[Refrain]
East wind, bring us home

[Verse 3]
The ragged heavens open up; we sound the jubilation
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe
The setting sun's a beacon, boys, the sign of our salvation
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe
[Chorus]
Way haul away; we're bound for better weather
Way haul away; we'll haul away, Joe

[Refrain]
East wind, bring us home
