- Chorus:
- One paddle, two paddle, three paddle,
- Four to take me home
- Fourteen on the right, fourteen on the left,
- Take me to Hawaiʻi 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
