Haul Away The Anchor
Written by Karliene Reynolds

-- | LYRICS |--

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

Born in Ireland scandalously
To a prosperous attorney
He had an affair with the maid, Mary
And I was their bastard child

So he hid me in sight in his employ
And dressed me as a plucky boy
But his wife saw through the shammy ploy
And Pa was the shame of the town
He wanted to

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

So we upped and left on a stormy sea
To the new world, new life for me
But me poor Ma died suddenly
A pain I couldn't believe

I was mad, I was out of control
Lashing out with violent blows
I was bad with a storm in my soul
Volatile as the sea
I wanted to

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

Pa got rich in the sugar boom
And harried me to marry soon
Some boring, moneyed well-to-do
But I'm not the genteel kind

And that's when I met sailor Jim
No wealth or rank or influence
So Pa cut me inheritance
When I swore to be his wife

Now I never said that I loved him
But little were my options
I longed to sail on the ocean
And Jim was living that life
I wanted to

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul, haul, haul away
Haul away the anchor

SO much fun working on this with you, Karliene! Truly a classic! #fiddle

[suzibee]

Such an amazing piece with Drunken Sailor woven in. I never tire of listening to your songs Karliene!

[DonnieTHORMacLEOD]

There is always a clear bell like quality to Karliene's voice that haunts you for the rest of the day. Might be because the human mind doesn't want to release it to soon.

[cryoblaster]

"Now I never said that I loved him" has so much meaning, the words, the tone, the concept. So much depth for a single sentence is absolutely amazing.

[MsVilma]

I love that you insert lyrics from your first song about Anne Bonny in these tracks :ooo

[katyajohnson]

I cant wait to watch every single one of things a billion times each

[krystalcooper]

It amazes me every time how you can just get inside the minds of these historical figures. I absolutely love it. You have such an amazing voice and talent! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!

[stormborntargaryen]

Awesome! Love the entire album. I've literally been crying for the past 20 minutes over this woman. I've always loved studying Anne, but this has just deepened my love for her. I know she did horrible things, but I truly believe a lot of her crimes were just products of circumstance.

[EFJoKeR]

Seriously love your story telling skills, through music... Amazing... <3

[princeofstars]

Black sails is alive 😍😍😍😍 @kariene please I’m trying to tag you on instagram but I cannot find you

[luthientinuviel]

This morning I awoke to find that Christmas came a day early!

[starlightvixx]

Karliene, you're an assurance for quality and beautiful music. I also listened Anne Boleyn and Elisabeth albums and can't explain how much i loved them both; plus, you convinced me to read more about Elisabeth.
Very well done and greetings from Italy.

[Lee-ndyf]

Honey the fire never stops burning once it's lit

[pietrogross]
