Great Master - "Rolling Down To Old Maui" (video)
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
With the girls Of 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
We've 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?
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 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
Even now their big brown eyes
look outhoping 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 ground
Rolling down to old Maui
We're homeward bound
From the Arctic ground
Rolling down to old Maui

Παλιές καραβάνες στον χώρο οι Great Master. Δημιουργήθηκαν στην Ιταλία το 1993, αλλά ουσιαστικά δισκογραφούν την τελευταία δεκαετία (στα 90ς είχαν μόνο δύο demos). Τέσσερα full length albums ο απολογισμός τους τα τελευταία δώδεκα χρόνια με το πέμπτο να είναι προ των πυλών. Ο διάδοχος του δίσκου "Skull and Bones - Tales from Over the Seas" τιτλοφορείται "Thy Harbour Inn" κι αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει μεθαύριο...

Great Master (about the song): «"Rolling Down to Old Maui" is a traditional sea song from the mid 19th century. It expresses the anticipation of the crew of a whaling vessel of its return to Maui after a season of whaling in the Kamchatka Sea. Fifth track from the album "Thy Harbour Inn".»
