Island Bound To Lahaina Town (Larry W Jones 07/04/2002) (song #013)

It's been some time since we hauled that line and sailed away
From Lahaina town to the arctic bound, whaling along the way
Filled that hold, wind turned cold but now we're Maui bound
The seas are fair, feel the salty air, and pass that rum around
  
We're island bound to Lahaina town, to old Lahaina town, I say
We're island bound to Lahaina town, drinkin' rum from night 'til day

A whaler's strife is the bread of  life for old salty dogs like me
Months at sea, I long to be on the leeward side of old Maui
The hold is full and the sailors pull those sails up to the crown
The mast is strained, compass trained toward old Lahaina town

We're island bound to Lahaina town, ...
