HULA LOVE

(Buddy Knox - Jimmy Bowen - Donnie Lanier) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
On the isle of Filla Lilla out Hawaii way
A hula maiden gay strolled by on moonlit bay
There came to court her over the water from a savage Zinga Zululand
A bolo chief-tain grand sang her this lay

And he sang hula Hawaii hula smile on your zing gang a zula
Moonshine above on our sweet jungle love
For you my bolo is swinging for you my love song I'm singing
Come be my hula hula la love
[ steel ] But the chief-tain from the peaceful Filla Lilla land
Would not give him her hand her love he took his stand
Through the rattle of the battle as she heard his sweet voice calm and true
They fled in his canoe o'er waters blue

And he sang hula Hawaii hula...
And he sang hula Hawaii hula...
Hula love hula love hula love

BEYOND THE REEF

(Jack Pitman) « © '57 Quartet Music, ASCAP / Range Road Music, ASCAP »
Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold
My love has gone and my dreams grow old
There'll be no tears there'll be no regretting
Will she remember me will she forget

I'll send a thousand flowers where the trade winds blow
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
Someday I know she'll come back again to me
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef
[ steel ] (I'll send a thousand flowers where the trade winds blow)
I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so
(Someday I know she'll come back again to me)
Till then my heart will be beyond the reef

ON THE BEACH AT WAIKIKI

(G.H. Stover - Henry Kailimai) « © '58 Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
Oone kauha wiki wiki sweet brown maiden said to me
As she gave me language lessons on the beach at Waikiki

Oone kauha wiki wiki she then smiled and said with glee
But she would not translate for me on the beach at Waikiki

Oone kauha wiki wiki she repeated playfully
Oh those lips were so inviting on the beach at Waikiki
[ banjo - steel ] Oone kauha wiki wiki she was surely teasing me
So I caught that maid and kissed her on the beach at Waikiki

Oone kauha wiki wiki you have learned it perfectly
Don't forget what I have taught you said the maid from Waikiki

MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KEALAZKEKUE HAWAII

(Bill Cogswell - Tommy Harrison - Johnny Noble) « © '33 Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
I want to go back to the little grass shack in Kealazkekue Hawaii
I want to be with all the kanes and wahines that I used to know long ago
I can hear the old guitars a playing on the beach at Honaunau
I can hear the old Hawaiians saying komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao

It won't be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona
A grand old place that's always fair to see (yes siree)
Well I'm just a little Hawaiian a homesick island boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to my little grass shack in Kealazkekue Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa go swimming by
[ steel ] It won't be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona...
Where the humuhumunukunukuapuaa go swimming by

TRADE WINDS

(Cliff Friend - Charles Tobias) « © '59 Ched Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Down where the trade winds play down where they lose the day
We found a new world where paradise starts
We traded high the night that I sailed away

Flowers were in her hair music was everywhere
Under an awning of silvery boughs
We traded vows the night that I sailed away

Trade winds what are vows that lovers make
Trade winds are they only made to break

When it is May again I'll sail away again
Though I'm returning it won't be the same
She traded her name way down where the trade winds play
[ steel - guitar ] Trade winds what are vows that lovers make...
When it is May again I'll sail away again...

DON'T SING ALOHA WHEN I GO

(Warren Smith - Buddy Black) « © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Don't sing Aloha when I go because I'm coming back you know
Don't sing Aloha though I cry our parting just not means goodbye

I'll dream of you in Waikiki that's where I always long to be
Just smile and say you'll miss me so don't sing Aloha when I go
[ steel ] Don't sing Aloha when I go...
I'll dream of you in Waikiki...
Don't sing Aloha when I go don't sing Aloha when I go

BLUE FOR OLD HAWAII

(Hank Snow) « © '66 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Tonight I'm blue for old Hawaii my weary soul is lonesome too
You left me blue and broken hearted I've got them old Hawaii blues

(Your big blue eyes and dark brown curls dear made skies of grey turn into blue
But now you've gone and lost forever I've got them old Hawaii blues)
[ guitar ] You left me down where drowsy waters roll on the shores of paradise
You've had your way dear and we have parted for you old pal I dream tonight

Perhaps some day your mind will wander back to the one who loves you true
And I will still for you be waiting I've got them old Hawaii blues

HAWAIIAN COWBOY

(Rex Allen - Emma Johnson - Sol K. Bright) « © '51 Sol K Bright Enterprises, ASCAP »
A cowboy took a trip to Hawaii
And on a beach one day of Waikii
The music that he heard was so enchanting
He lost his heart to sing this melody

I wanna hear you sing my lady and hear you play your ukulelaili
I wanna stay here in Hawaiii and learn the wikki wikki waiki woo

I wanna love you and woo and woo you
I'll stop my ridin' ropin' lopin' and then return to you
If you will sing to me my lady a song of love beaneath that Hawaiian sky
[ guitar - piano - steel ] I wanna love you and woo and woo you...

To you sweetheart Aloha
Aloha from the bottom of my heart
Keep that smile on your lips brush the tears from your eyes
One more Aloha then it's time for goodbye

In dreams I'll be with you dear tonight
And I'll pray for that day when we two will meet again
Until then sweetheart Aloha
[ steel ] (Aloha from the bottom of my heart)

To you sweetheart Aloha...

CRY STEEL GUITAR CRY ON (CRYING STEEL GUITAR WALTZ)

(Shorty Long - Dolly Long) « © '52 Mamy Music, BMI »
The steel guitar played when I met her and it played the night I lost her
Yes you drove her to another with your sweet Hawaiian charms
I know you're sorry but it's too late now and I know you meant no harm
But the waltz that you were playing put her in another's arms

Cry steel guitar cry on you're crying because you know she is gone
Gone with another and I'm all alone so cry steel guitar cry on
[ steel ] (Cry steel guitar cry on you're crying because you know she is gone)
Gone with another and I'm all alone so cry steel guitar cry on

OAHU ROSE

(Hank Snow) « © '66 Hank's Music, BMI »
I heard you crying to the whispering trade winds
As they echo your love call o'er the silvery sea
They say your heart's weary and you long to be near me
Fear not my darling I shall always love Thee

Until the snow falls in old Hawaii
Until eternity is a long time ago
Until the pale moon is a trophical sunset
I'll never fail you my lovely Oahu rose
[ steel ] (Until the snow falls in old Hawaii
Until eternity is a long time ago)
Until the pale moon is a trophical sunset
I'll never fail you my lovely Oahu rose
