We're sailing 'cross the river from Liverpool
Heave away, Santy Anno
Around the Cape Horn to 'Frisco bay
Way out in Californio

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave away, Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out to Californio

There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Heave away, Santy Anno
Plenty of gold, so I've been told
Way out in Californio

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave away, Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out to Californio

Well, back in the days of '49
Heave away, Santy Anno
Back in the days of the good old times
Way out in Californio

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave away, Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out to Californio
