rolling down to old maui - pressgang mutiny lyrics

[verse 1]
it’s a d*mn tough life full of toil and strife
we whalermen undergo
and we don’t give a d*mn when the gail is done
how hard the winds did blow

[pre*chorus]
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]
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]
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

[pre*chorus]
six h*llish months we passed away
on the cold kamchatka sea
but now we’re bound from the arctic ground
rolling down to 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

[verse 5]
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

[pre*chorus]
our stuns’l booms is carried away
what care we for that sound?
a living gale is after us
thank god we’re homeward bound

[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

[verse 6]
how sweet the breeze through the island trees
now the ice is far astern
them island maids, them tropical glades
is a*waiting our return
[pre*chorus]
even now, their big brown eyes look out
hoping some fine day to see
our baggy sails runnin’ for the gales
rolling down to 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

[verse 7]
we’ll heave the lead where old diamond head
looms up on old wahu
our masts and yards are sheathed with ice
and our decks are hid from view

[pre*chorus]
the horrid ice of the sea*caked isles
that deck the arctic sea
are miles behind in the frozen wind
since we steered for 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
[verse 8]
and now we’re anchored in the bay
with kanakas all around
with chants and soft aloha oes
they greet us homeward bound

[pre*chorus]
and now ashore we’ll have good fun
we’ll paint them beaches red
awaken in the arms of an island maid
with a big fat aching head

[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

[chorus]
we’re 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
