it is time to go now
haul away your anchor
haul away your anchor
'tis our sailing time

set the sails upon her
haul away your foresheet
haul away your foresheet
'tis our sailing time

see the waves go by her
haul away your halyard
haul away your halyard
'tis our sailing time

feel the swells go under
haul away dark shadow
haul away dark shadow
'tis our sailing time

when the day is over
haul away for heaven
haul away for heaven
'tis our sailing time

it is time to go now
haul away your anchor
haul away your anchor
'tis our sailing time
