• Rolling' Down to Old Maui

It's a tough rough life full of toil and strife
We whalers undergo.
And we don't give a damn when the gale is done
How hard the wind did blow.
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.

(chorus)
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
Through the ice and slit and rain.
Them coconut fronds, them tropical lands
We soon shall see again.
Six hellish months have passed agone
On the cold Kamchatka Sea,
But now we're bound from the Arctic ground
Rolling down to Old Maui.

chorus

Once more we sail with a northerly gale
Towards our island home.
Our mainmast sprung, our whalings done,
And we ain't got far to roam.
Our stu'n's'l bones is carried away
What care we for that sound?
A living gale is on our tale,
Thank God we're homeward bound.

chorus

How soft the breeze from 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.

And now we're anchored in the bay
With the Kanakas all around
With chants and soft aloha oes
They greet us homeward bound.
And now ashore we'll have good fun
We'll paint them beaches red
Awaking in the arms of an island maid
With a big fat aching head.

chorus
