From Boston Town we're bound away
Heave away Sante Anno
Around Cape Horn to Frisco Bay
We're bound for Californio
So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave away Sante Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californio
She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew
Heave away Sante Anno
A down knees Yankee for her skipper too
We're bound for Californio
So heave her up...
Back in the days of '49
Heave away Sante Anno
Those were the days of the good old wine
We're bound for Californio
So heave her up...
When I leave ship, I'll settle down
Heave away Sante Anno
I'll marry a girl named Sally Brown
We're bound for Californio
So heave her up...
There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Heave away Sante Anno
Way down in Californio
We're bound for Californio
So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave away Sante Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californio
