Old Maui |
| It’s a damn tough life full of toil and strife |
| We whalermen undergo |
| And we won’t give a damn when the gale is done |
| How hard the winds did blow |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic Grounds |
| With a good ship taut and free |
| And we won’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 Grounds |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Once more we sail with a Northerly gale |
| Through the ice, and wind, and rain |
| Them coconut fronds, them tropical shores |
| We soon shall see again |
| For six hellish months we passed away |
| On the cold Kamchatka sea |
| But now we’re bound from the Arctic Grounds |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic Grounds |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Once more we sail with the Northerly gale |
| Towards our Island home |
| Our whaling done, our mainmast sprung |
| And we ain’t got far to roam |
| Our stans’l booms is 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 Grounds |
| 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 awaiting our return |
| Even now their big, brown eyes look out |
| Hoping some fine day to see |
| Our baggy sails running '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 Grounds |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
| We’re homeward bound from the Arctic Grounds |
| Rolling down to Old Maui |
