Rolling Down To Old Maui

[@cathimurphy-bee6759]

This version has a sadness I've not heard in the one I'm used to. I love it.

[@pyranhus]

This is now my second favorite version after the late, great Stan Rogers.

[@dutch6857]

Can you imagine a chorus of Stans backing up Stan? RIP.

[@_vinterthorn]

What do you make of the folk-punky version by The Dreadnoughts?

[@dutch6857]

@@_vinterthorn Always a sucker for Celto-Punk, thanks for pointing me to them! Going down a rabbit hole now... (Stan's version will still always be #1, though)

[@TheGB1950]

Check out Todd Rundgrens version, for something different.

[@mariajosemorenoguerrero8638]

Época ingenua y de gloriosas navegaciones de sentimientos auténticos y codicias mezclados... Pero qué gran belleza y espíritu de Mar en aquellos tiempos ❤

[@eselevans]

Is it possible to fall in love with a song? You Sir are a legend!

[@AubergineJacket]

Reminiscent of The Dreadnoughts yet still very much your own! Love this!!

[@ericgilbert1087]

I've never heard the "Paint the sands red" verse. You learn something new every day!

[@bennyhasseler2633]

This needs a lot of work!! Perfect job.. the voices and the messages are sent.. just wow!

[@dutch6857]

Sent a shiver up this Canadian backbone! Well done! Well done indeed!

[@anthonybarca2896]

[@CharlesJrPike]

Ahoy from Massachusetts. I had ancestors who likely came in from whaling boats that passed Portuguese Islands in the Atlantic.

[@madisonatteberry9720]

Look, a song that dosen't suck!

[@asasin344]

A truly wonderful cover, literally gave me goose bumps after a few seconds of listening!!

[@jaschadonath]

Kon eigenlijk niet geloven dat jij NL bent! Goed gezongen.

[@masonadams4567]

So good

[@jayrich6532]

I stumbled on this also being stoned. awesomeness

[@thezaas4415]

It's a damn tough life, full of toil and strife, we whalermen undergo, And we won't give a damn when the gales are done how hard the winds did blow, For we're homeward bound from the Arctic grounds with a good ship taught and free, And we won't give a damn when we drink our rum with the girls from old Maui. Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui, We're homeward bound from the Arctic grounds, rolling down to old Maui. Once more we sail with the northerly gales through the ice and Wind and rain, Them coconut fronds, them tropical shores, 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 grounds, rolling down to old Maui. Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui, We're homeward bound from the Arctic grounds, rolling down to old Maui. Once more we sail with the Northerly gales, towards our island home, Our whaling done, our mainmast sprung, and we ain't got far to roam; Our stuns'l's bones is carried away, what care we for that sound, A living gale is after us, thank God we're homeward bound. Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui, We're homeward bound from the Arctic grounds, rolling down to old Maui. 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. Rolling down to old Maui, me boys, rolling down to old Maui, We're homeward bound from the Arctic grounds, rolling down to old Maui.

[@HungTran-gz5em]

Awesome work my good sir!

[@-FyX-]

Is this a song from PotC dead men tell no tales soundtrack? It should be

[@skeggi3836]

the council will decide your fate

[@ttintagel]

I would have taken the tempo a wee bit faster, but still glorious!

[@nutmegdonkey]

yo this is lit.

[@andyearnest8540]

This is so controlled! Love it. I did a version on my channel with only the third verse, but it wasn't nearly this in control. Kudos.

It's a damn tough life, full of toil and strife, we whaler-men undergo And we don't give a damn when the gale is done, how hard the Winds did blow For 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 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 have passed away on the cold Kamchatka sea But now we're 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 Once more we sail with the northerly gale, towards our island home Our mainmast sprung, our whaling done, and we ain't got far to roam Our stu'n's'l booms is carried away, what care we for that sound?

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 How soft the breeze, through the island trees, now the ice is far astern Them native maids, them tropical glades, is awaiting our return We'll rant and roar and go ashore, and paint them beaches red Then waking up in the arms of a maid, with a big fat aching head 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

[@jasonhevans01]

fucking beautiful. Better than the poxy boggards.

[@RienkTholen]

Thanks! This means a lot.

[@petergeorgehill]

delivery is a bit stiff, blank background staring straight at camera, lyrics are articulated very clinically. These are songs sung by sailors on a rocking boat. Feel like the vibe would've been better if you'd got together with some friends and sung it, maybe with a beer 🍻
