My take on the traditional sea song.

lyrics

“Rolling Down to 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 GALE IS DONE
HOW HARD THE WINDS DID BLOW.
FOR 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
THROUGH THE ICE AND WIND AND RAIN.
THEM NATIVE MAIDS, THEM TROPICAL GLADES,
WE SOON SHALL SEE AGAIN.
SIX HELLISH MONTHS HAVE 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
(SOLO)

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.
AND NOW ASHORE WE'LL HAVE GOOD FUN
WE'LL PAINT THEM BEACHES RED
THEN WE’LL WAKE IN THE ARMS OF THE NATIVE MAID
WITH A BIG FAT ACHING HEAD.

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
