Traditional, new lyrics & arrangement by Phil Dean

lyrics

Once more we sail with a northerly gale
Through the ice and sleet and rain
I made it through alive it's true
But I'll not be the same
But we're homeward bound 'tis a damn fine sound
With a good ship taut and free
And I don't give a damn that I've not seen
Them girls of old Maui

I'll go to sea no more
Once I'm back upon the shore
Abandon hope and cut the ropes
And go to sea no more

Six long months of hell have passed
And we ain't got far to roam
It's a rough tough life full of trouble and strife
And we're far away from home
But we're homeward bound from the artic ground
With a good ship taut and free
And I don't give a damn that I never did see
Them girls of old Maui

I'll go to sea no more
Once I'm back upon the shore
Abandon hope and cut the ropes
And go to sea no more

Two weeks on land I was drunk and broke
With soldiers on my tail
I fled to the docks where a whaling ship
Was ready to set sail
So now I'm leaving land behind
On a good ship taut and free
With a following wind I may yet see
Them girls of old Maui

I'll go to sea once more
For to hide me from the law
Trust to hope, and knot the ropes
And go to sea once more
Yes I'll go to see once more
Find my rest on foreign shores
Trust to hope, and knot the ropes
And go to sea once more
