Sacramento 

Oh, around cape horn we all must go, hew da, hew da, 
‘Round Cape Horn in the ice and snow, oh hew da day 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

Around Cape horn with the skysil set, hew da, hew da, 
Around Cape Horn and we’re all ringing wet, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

It’s around Cape Horn in the month of May, hew da, hew da,
Around Cape Horn is a bloody long way, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

Starvation and need on a yankee ship, hew da, hew da, 
And we’re the bullies for to make her rip, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

Santender Jim is a mate from hell, hew da, hew da, 
He’s got fists of iron and feet as well, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

Oh, heave your bars and breast your backs, hew da, hew da,
Well heave and make your spare ribs crack, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

Well crack it on with a big sky ute, hew da, hew da, 
Old bully Jim is a bloody big brute, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

Around Cape Horn to Frisco bay, hew da, hew da, 
Round Cape Horn in 91 days, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

It’s 91 days to Frisco bay, hew da, hew da, 
91 days is damn good pay, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio, 
There’s plenty of gold so I’ve been told on the banks of the Sacramento, 

So sing and heave and heave and sing, hew da, hew da, 
Heave and make those hen spikes ring, oh hew da day, 

Blow boys blow, for Calafornio,
