Old Maui (Pirate Metal Version)

Intro

"Oh, it's a grim, hard life full of ice and strife

For whalermen bound to freeze,

With the sting of the frost and the bitter cost

As we sail the Arctic seas.

Yet the rum runs hot, and we dream a lot

Of shores where palm trees sway,

Where the sun and sand kiss the weary hand,

And the girls of Old Maui!”

Verse 1:

“It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife

We whalermen undergo

And we won'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 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”

Verse 2:

“Once more we sail with a Northerly gale

Through the ice, and wind, and rain

Them coconut fronds, them tropical shores

We soon shall see again”

“For Six hellish 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”

Bridge:

“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”

Final 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”
