Em B7
It\'s a damn tough life full

of toil and strife

We whalermen undergo.

the gales are done
Em B7 Em
How hard the winds did blow.

For we\'re homeward bound
D
from the Arctic ground
Em B7
With a good ship, taut and free.
Em B7
And we won\'t give a damn when
G D
we drink our rum
Em B7 Em
With the girls of Old Maui.

Rolling down to Old Maui,
me boys

Once more we sail with

the northerly gale
Em
Through the ice,

and wind and rain.
B7
Them coconut fronds
G D
and tropical shores
Em B7 Em
We soon shall see again.
G
For six hellish months
D
we\'ve passed away
Em B7
On the cold Kamchatka Sea.
Em B7
But now we\'re bound from
G D
the Arctic ground
Em B7 Em
Rolling down to Old Maui.
