jonathan young - old maui lyrics

[chorus: jonathan young]
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

[verse 1: jonathan young]
it’s a d+mn tough life, full of toil and strife, we whalermen undergo
and we won’t give a d+mn 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 d+mn when we drink our rum with the girls of old maui
[chorus: jonathan young]
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

[verse 2: caleb hyles]
once more we sail with the northerly gale through the ice and wind and rain
them coconut fronds, them tropical shores, we soon shall see again
for six h+llish months we’ve passed away on the cold kamchatka sea
but now we’re bound from the arctic ground, rolling down to old maui

[chorus: caleb hyles & jonathan young]
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

[verse 3: annapantsu]
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

[chorus: annapantsu, jonathan young & caleb hyles]
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
[instrumental bridge: richaardeb]

[verse 4: colm mcguinness]
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

[chorus: colm mcguinnes, annapantsu, jonathan young & caleb hyles]
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
