The Banks Of Sacramento

Sing and heave and heave and sing

To my hoodah, to my hoodah

Heave and make the hand-spikes spring

To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

It's blow, boys, blow

For California-oh

For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told

On the banks of Sacramento

Lime house Docks to Sydney Heads

To my hoodah, to my hoodah

Was never more than 70 days

To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

It's blow, boys, blow

For California-oh

For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told

On the banks of Sacramento

Around Cape Horn in the month of May

To my hoodah, to my hoodah

Around Cape Horn is a very long way

To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

It's blow, boys, blow

For California-oh

For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told

On the banks of Sacramento

We're the bullies for to kick her through

To my hoodah, to my hoodah

Roll down the hill with a hullabaloo

To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

It's blow, boys, blow

For California-oh

For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told

On the banks of Sacramento

Round the Horn and up the Line

To my hoodah, to my hoodah

We're the bullies for to make her shine

To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

It's blow, boys, blow

For California-oh

For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told

On the banks of Sacramento
