*Stan Rogers, 1976*

[C]Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-[G]eight
> [C]How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
A [C]letter of marque came [F]from the [G]king
To the [C]scummiest vessel I've [G]ever seen
> [C]God damn them all!
[C]Oh, the year was [F]seventeen [G]seventy-[C]eight
> [C]How I wish I [F]was in [C]Sherbrooke [G]now!
A [F]letter of marque came [G]from the [C]king
To the scummiest vessel I've ever [F]seen
> God [C]damn [G]them [C]all!

{chorus}
[C]I was told we'd cruise the seas for A[F]merican [G]gold
We'd [F]fire no guns, shed no [C]tears
Now I'm a [C]broken man on a [F]Halifax pier
The [Dm]last of [G]Barrett's priva[C]teers
[C]I was [F]told we'd [G]cruise the [F]seas for A[C]merican [F]gold
We'd [C]fire [G]no [C]guns, shed no [F]tears
Now I'm a [C]broken [F]man on a [C]Halifax [F]pier
The last of Barrett's [G7]priva[C]teers

On the ninety-sixth day we sailed again
> How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

# Old Maui

It's a [Em]damn tough life full of toil and [B]strife, we [G]whalermen under[D]go
And we [Em]don't give a damn when the gale is [B]done, how [G]hard the winds did [D]blow
For we're [G]homeward bound from the [D]Arctic ground, with a [Em]good ship taut and [B]free
And we [Em]don't give a damn when we drink our [B]rum, with the [G]girls of old [D]Maui
It's a [Em]damn tough [B]life full of [G]toil and [D]strife,
We [Em]whalermen [B]under[Em]go
And we [Em]don't give a [B]damn when the [G]gale is [D]done,
How [Em]hard the [B]winds did [Em]blow
For we're [G]homeward bound from the [D]Arctic ground,
With a [Em]good ship taut and [B]free
And we [Em]don't give a [B]damn when we [G]drink our [D]rum,
With the [Em]girls of [B]old Mau[Em]i

{chorus}
[Em]Rolling down to old [G]Maui, me [D]boys
[Em]Rolling down to old [B]Maui
We're [Em]homeward bound from the [G]Arctic [D]ground
[Em]Rolling down to old [B]Maui
[Em]Rolling [G]down to old Mau[D]i, me boys
Rolling [Em]down to old Mau[B]i
We're [Em]homeward [B]bound from the [G]Arctic [D]ground
Rolling [Em]down to [B]old Mau[Em]i

Once more we sail with a Northerly gale, through the ice and wind and rain
Them coconut fronds, the 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]
Once more we sail with a Northerly gale,
Through the ice and wind and rain
Them coconut fronds, the 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]

Once more we sail the Northerly gale, towards our island home
Our whaling done, our mainmast sprung, and we ain't got far to roam
Our stuns'l bones is carried away, what care we for that sound?
A living gale is after us, thank God we're homeward bound
Once more we sail the Northerly gale,
Towards our island home
Our whaling done, our mainmast sprung,
And we ain't got far to roam
Our stuns'l bones is 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, 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
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

[Chorus]
