Old Maui |
| It’s a damn tough life full of toil and strife |
| We whalermen undergo |
| And we don’t give a damn when the day is done |
| How hard the winds did blow |
| Cause we’re homeward bound from the Arctic ground |
| With a good ship, taut and free |
| And we don’t give a damn when we drink our rum |
| With the girls of Old Maui |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic ground |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Once more we sail with a northerly gale |
| Towards our island home |
| Our mainmast sprung, our whaling done |
| And we ain’t got far to roam |
| Six hellish months we passed away |
| On the cold Kamchatka Sea |
| But now we’re bound from the Arctic ground |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic ground |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Once more we sail with a northerly gale |
| To the ice and wind and rain |
| Them coconut fronds, them tropical lands |
| We soon shall see again |
| Our stuns’l booms are carried away |
| What care we for that sound? |
| A living gale is after us |
| Thank God we’re homeward bound |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic ground |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| How soft the breeze through the island trees |
| Now the ice is far astern |
| Them native maids, them tropical glades |
| Is a-waiting our return |
| Even now their big brown eyes look out |
| Hoping some fine day to see |
| Our baggy sails runnin' 'fore the gales |
| Rolling down to old Maui |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic ground |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic ground |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
