Old Maui
Were homeward bound from the Arctic ground
rollin' down to Old Maui
Hey!
It's a damn tough life, full of toil and strife
we whalermen undergo
And we don't give a damn when the gale is done
how hard the winds do blow
For we're homeward bound from the Arctic ground
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 ground
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 lands,
we soon shall see again
Six hellish months we've 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
Heave!
Ho!
Heave!
Ho!
YA HA HA!
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 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
YA HA HA!
rollin' down to Old Maui
Hey!
It's a damn tough life, full of toil and strife
we whalermen undergo
And we don't give a damn when the gale is done
how hard the winds do blow
For we're homeward bound from the Arctic ground
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 ground
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 lands,
we soon shall see again
Six hellish months we've 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
Heave!
Ho!
Heave!
Ho!
YA HA HA!
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 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
YA HA HA!
