From Boston Town we're bound away
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Around Cape Horn to Frisco Bay
We're bound for Californ-i-o
So Heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californ-i-o

She's a fast clipper ship and a bully crew
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
A down-east Yankee for her captain, too
We're bound for Californ-i-o
So Heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californ-i-o

Back in the days of Forty-nine
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Those were the days of the good old times
Way out in Californ-i-o
So Heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californ-i-o

When I leave ship I'll settle down
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
I'll marry a girl named Sally Brown
Way out in Californ-i-o
So Heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californ-i-o

There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Plenty of gold so I've been told
Way out in Californ-i-o
So Heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californ-i-o
