+It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife we whalermen undergo
+And we don't give a damn when the whaling's done how hard the winds did blow
+'Cause 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
+**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//
+Once more we sail with the 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
+[Chorus]
+Once more we sail with the northerly gale towards our island home
+Our main mast sprung, our whaling done, and we ain't got far to roam
+Our stuns'l boom's been carried away, what care we for that sound
+A living gale is after us, thank God we're homeward bound
+[Chorus]
+How soft the breeze through the island trees, now the ice is far astern
+Them native maids in their island glades are awaiting our return
+Even now, their big brown eyes look out, hoping some fine day to see
+Our baggy sails running afore the gales, rolling down to old Maui
+[Chorus]
+And now we're anchored in the bay, with kanakas all around
+With chants and sweet //aloha//s, they greet us homeward bound
+And now ashore, we'll have good friends, we'll paint the beaches red
+Awaken in the arms of an island maid with a big fat aching head
+[Chorus]
