The Last Length

There's a shore far down in an island town
That we've long held out to see
And it's where we're bound and we've all bout drown
On the way down to Maui

And it's been six weeks since we left in July
When we first put out to see
And we'll not be out for a while says I
For at least a month or three

'Cause we're bound for warmer weather
And we'll brave the last length down
'Cause we're all together
For worse or better
'Til we dock her in that town

When we're there at last and we're out of the storm
And we touch down on dry land
There I'll find me a lass where the waters are warm
And my boots are in the sand

With the right degrees off the ocean breeze
Any man could surely stay
But I'd trade the seas for them Kahului trees
For the rest of all my days

'Cause we're bound for warmer weather
And we'll brave the last length down
Cause we're all together
For worse or better
'Til we dock her in that town

And if it is our last endeavor
Then we'll share with all this sound
That we sailed together
For worse or better
'Til we docked her in that town

Now we've braved the ice and the roarin' winds
And we've lost a share of men
But in a heartbeat and for all my sins
I'd sail with yis' all again

But we're bound for warmer weather
And we'll brave the last length down
'Cause we're all together
For worse or better
'Til we dock her in that town

And if it is our last endeavor
Then we'll share with all this sound
That we sailed together
For worse or better
And we'll not pay heed to fast or measure
And we'll drink like it's our last time together
When we dock her in that town
