HAUL ME BACK AGAIN. Tune-"Call Me Back Again." Written by James Curran. 
Last night I went to see my little sweetheart. To meet her I had to climb a garden-wall; I got myself all cut with broken bottles, And right into the garden I did fall. Just then I heard a bull-dog sweetly warbling, I tried to scramble back, it was all in vain; I managed to get nearly half-way over. When that 'ere bull-dog hauled me back again. 
Chorus. He hauled me back again -he hauled me back again; I lost the seal of my new Sunday waist-coat, When that 'ere bull-dog hauled me back again. 
Last week I did attend a public meeting, I got upon a chair to make a speech; With sticks and stones I got a friendly greeting. My voice was drowned, though loudly I did Screech. With last year's eggs the roughs did vaccinate me; They fell on me as thick as hail or rain; To save my life I jumped into a tram-car, The crowd pursued and hauled me back again. 
Chorus. They hauled me back again-they hauled me back again; They took me down and chucked me into the river, And with a boat-hook hauled me back again. 
The other day I nearly found a sixpence, I never was so near a thing before; It was lying on the street, and no one near it, I murmured, there's a drink for me in store. Alas! alas! my hopes were disappointed, A little hole that sixpence did contain, And as I stooped some fellows burst out laughing. As with a string they hauled it back again. 
Chorus. They hauled it back again-they hauled it back again They said old man that tanner is quicksilver. They pulled And dragged And hauled it back again.
