The story of the origin of this song has several variations. They all have in common that the song was inspired by the famous farewell embrace given by Colonel James Harbottle Boyd during a horse ride taken by Princess Lili? Uokalani in 1877 or 1878 to Boyd's farm in Maunawili on the wind side of O ah ahu, and that party members hummed on their way back to Honolulu. Different versions tell about the alternative recipients of hugs - both Lili's sister? Uokalani, Princess Likelike Cleghorn or a young woman at the farm. According to the most familiar version of the story:
This gentle separation makes Lili? Uokalani thinks, and she starts to hum herself on her way home. Hearing the hearing, Charles Wilson observed, "Sounds like The Lone Rock by the Sea," Lili commented? Uokalani is said to have agreed. When the group stopped to rest in an orange grove on the Honolulu side of Pali, the others joined in the singing, and the song finished later at Washington Place.
The Hawai? I State Archives save a manuscript written by Lili? Uokalani, dated 1878, with song score, lyrics, English translation of Lili? Uokalani, and his note is clearly added later: "Compiled at Maunawili 1878. Played by the Royal Hawaiian Band in San Francisco in August 1883 and became very popular."
A catalog published by Columbia Records in 1901 mentions two wax cylinders labeled "Vocal Solos in Hawaiian", containing previous recordings of "Aloha? Oe" and "Ku? U Pua I Paoakalani". However, it is uncertain whether this is recorded in Hawaii or if the player is Hawaii and the cylinder is now gone. Columbia Records then recorded a duet song by Nani Alapai and Henry N. Clark in 1911. The 1913 score can be seen in the Levy Sheet Music Collection.
