Kui:

One paddle, two paddle, three paddle,

Four to take me home

Fourteen on the right, fourteen on the left,

Take me to Hawaii nei, no ka best.







I went away a long time

Such a long time, a long time ago

Seen enough cities to last a lifetime

Goin' away no more







I want to smell the fowers,

The sweet flowers when the trade winds blow

Seen enough fences to last a lifetime

Goin' away no more







Yes, take me to my lover

My fair lover, I left long ago

Felt enough sorrow to last a lifetime

Goin' away no more
