Kalea (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2002) (song#601) There's a fishing port down Maui way Lahaina is a place of renown Sailors drop their anchors in the bay For whiskey in the town Kalea is an island girl in old Lahaina town She serves the whiskey that the sailors swallow down She listens as they waste each other's time Kalea sings them songs like Maui chimes The sailors ask Kalea if she has the time To settle down and marry while she's in her prime Lahaina town is lonely as she's looking out to sea But Kalea's eyes look only for the sailor meant to be Kalea wears in her hair a yellow ginger lei Her sailor promised he'd return to Lahaina town some day The yellow ginger lei is for her beloved For the sailor man that Kalea dearly loves He sailed into the bay one tropic day He told her of the places far away He said he had to sail to other climes He didn't know her heart would sing like Maui chimes As he left he told Kalea not to cry He told Kalea that one day she would have the time To settle down and marry while she's in her prime He didn't know her heart would break like Maui chimes Kalea serves the whiskey that the sailors swallow down She listenes as they waste each other's time Kalea is a lonely girl in old Lahaina town Kalea sings them songs like Maui chimes Kalea is a lonely girl in old Lahaina town
Find An Island (Larry W. Jones 11/18/2002) (song#602) When the fast pace of life makes you crawl If you just listen you will hear them call There in oceans wide waiting to be found Are islands that won't let you down Find an island in deep blue waters You don't need to frown Find an island in deep blue waters Lay your troubles down When you're out of steam or so it seems An island waits somewhere in the stream When the day seems like an awesome night An island turns the darkness into light Find an island in deep blue waters You don't need to frown Find an island in deep blue waters Lay your troubles down Sail away on silver wings Find your island in the stream And when you find that island in the blue My dreams and I will follow too Find an island in deep blue waters You don't need to frown Find an island in deep blue waters Lay your troubles down Sail away on silver wings Find your island in the stream And when you find that island in the blue My dreams and I will follow too

Since Your Love (Larry W.

Jones 12/18/2002) (song#710) In an old rust bucket as the sun goes down He pulls down the brim of his hat to shade his eyes He drives that old Maui island road to Lahaina town And wonders why they call it paradise The tropic sun is setting now, the moon will soon be on the sea As he drives into old Lahaina town He parks beside the bay where the whaling ships used to be And he hears that old skack-key island sound Those slack-key bands still play old island songs Like Gabby Pahinui used to play The old tiki bar is still the same and it feels like home Those memories just never fade away No, those memories are here to stay He thinks back to 1948, or was it '49 He played with Gabby in island bands And the koa guitar they gave him then, well, it still sounds just fine And he remembers songs about island sands But his singing days are long over, his voice is getting weak And his slack-key pickin', well, his shaking fingers aren't so quick Those slack-key bands still play old island songs Like Gabby Pahinui used to play The old tiki bar is still the same and it feels like home Those memories just never fade away No, those memories are here to stay Now it's three AM and it's time to leave And you can see the tears welling up in his eyes One last song and it's time to grieve And he wonders why they call it paradise In an old rust bucket as the sun goes down He pulls down the brim of his hat to shade his eyes He drives that old Maui island road to Lahaina town And wonders why they call it paradise Those slack-key bands still play old island songs Like Gabby Pahinui used to play The old tiki bar is still the same and it feels like home Those memories just never fade away No, those memories are here to stay

Jones 12/26/2002) (song#777) The moon is full and so is my heart You don't have to ask me why The strings of love won't break apart On a night like this in warm July When we packed our bags for a tropic isle We headed for a place with golden skies We got here fast and we'll stay awhile We'll make love last through all July The moon is up and the stars are out It's a heavenly view in tropic skies A measuring cup full to the spout Couldn't measure our love in paradise I'm sure this love will last forever Love like ours just wouldn't die It's a mutual paradise endeavor That will last way on past July The moon is up and the stars are out It's a heavenly view in tropic skies A measuring cup full to the spout Couldn't measure our love in paradise The moon is full and so is my heart You don't have to ask me why The strings of love won't break apart On a night like this in warm July

Island Love Is The Cure (Larry W. Jones 12/27/2002) (song#786) Mainland days are filled with ways that lead to shattered dreams Lives confused and homes where time has torn the seams Kids who miss their Daddy, Mamas carry on Secret fun that only hurts because it's hidden from the dawn Mainland songs of solitary hearts that break when love becomes untrue Melancholy tales of pretty girls and old love songs But you know that for all those dreams of love undone There's always the other side of the coin you have to turn Island love is kisses in the cottage Island love is dependable and sincere Island love is abiding with ohana Island love is the kind I have for you, my dear Island love is tropic nights and strolling in the sand Island love is an island woman and an island man Mainland roads are lonesome byways where dreams go it alone At times they're just highways that keep you low and far from home If you've forgotten where love is, and it's home you're thinking of Remember that mainland roads are lonesome and the cure is island love Island love is kisses in the cottage Island love is dependable and sincere Island love is abiding with ohana Island love is the kind I have for you, my dear Island love is kisses in the cottage Island love is dependable and sincere Island love is abiding with ohana Island love is the kind I have for you, my dear
Hawaiian Cowboy Talk Story (Larry W. Jones 12/27/2002) (song#787) In Hawaii it's called talk story and we young'uns listened When he talked about his saddle days and things in the past We always took him at his word until the very last And then we asked that Hawaiian cowboy to talk his story again We could hear all those old tradewinds out there blowin' His lasso streakin' past his horse in herds with island scenes We could feel the salt air on the trails where he was goin' As he talked of stories on the ranches by those Hawaiian seas I remember then that Mama told us Don't pay him no mind, his old talk stories are full of lies But to me that old Hawaiian cowboy was my hero His talk stories were as true as those blue Hawaiian skies He told of olden times when he rode with the Parkers On the big island through the pastures by the bay That was Ka'Aina O Ka Paniolo, land of the Hawaiian cowboy They were a tough, hard riding breed we heard the cowboy say He talked about the time when John and Rachel Parker started To build the dynasty of Paniolo cowboy island ways They drove the cattle through the surf to the ships in the water And many was the time when that old Hawaiian cowboy saved the day Then I remember when the days and weeks went by And that old Hawaiian cowboy never came around I missed the old talk stories that my Mama would deny He was my hero and I never put him down I cried when I heard that they had found him lying On his death bed with his old lasso by his head He was holding onto a faded letter from John Parker That said he was the roughest, toughest cowboy he ever had And I remember Mama told us young'uns Don't pay him no mind, his old talk stories are full of lies Now she knows that old Hawaiian cowboy truly was a hero His talk stories were as true as those blue Hawaiian skies Just as true as those blue Hawaiian skies
Love Just Slipped Away (Larry W. Jones 12/27/2002) (song#788) I could feel that tears were just about to start The tradewinds whispered that she would depart I felt the island sand begin to wash away And with it the dreams of island love today And my heart is breaking like a song that's come undone It's sinking like the setting of the island sun I know that memories are future lines that say Remember all those dreams of island love that went away I thought she was happy in our little cottage by the bay I never thought the day would come when she would go away I guess the blame is mine but I don't know what to say Except that dreams of island love just slipped away And my heart is breaking like a song that's come undone It's sinking like the setting of the island sun I know that memories are future lines that say Remember all those dreams of island love that went away When she said goodbye I didn't know what to say Except that dreams of island love just slipped away Dreams of island love just slipped away
Sailin' Schooners (Larry W. Jones 12/27/2002) (song#789) Sailin' schooners wasn't easy like swashbucklers in the movies I don't remember girls with long hair from Tahiti There was no stateroom and I didn't see no rugs You just worked with salty dogs and thugs Rode the waves that swirled below There were storms that robbed your very sleep And those arctic blizzards sure were cold And you sang Blow The Man Down and Whisky-O There was the time we sailed the cape The winds blew so strong we hardly ate And the sails were ripped right from the mast We thought that day would be our last We lost some sails and gear that day And a few good sailors swept away When we sailed our ship into that port We knew that sailing life could be cut short And we sang Ye Mariners All and Fare Thee Well On the deep blue ocean late one night The typhoon took us by surprise I yelled out to Johnny-O, there was fear there in his eyes He climbed the yard arm holding tight And I know he tried with all his might But Johnny-O sailed to oblivion and Davy Jones And we sang Ye Mariners All and Fare Thee Well So when you go to the movies, swashbucklers aren't real heros Real sailors had to earn their sea legs They broke ice from the mast in temperatures of zero But he's doin' what he really loves Sailin' schooners with salt water in his blood Thinkin' back to when he sailed so many years ago Singin' Blow The Man Down and Whisky-O But he's doin' what he really loves Sailin' schooners with salt water in his blood Thinkin' back to when he sailed so many years ago Singin' Blow The Man Down and Whisky-O
