The Banks of Sacramento

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
It's blow, boys, blow!
For Californio!
For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

[Verse 2]
Limehouse Docks to Sydney Heads
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
Was never more than seventy days
To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

[Chorus]
It's blow, boys, blow!
For Californio!
For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
It's blow, boys, blow!
For Californio!
For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

[Verse 4]
We're thе bullies for to kick her through
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
Roll down the hill with a hullabaloo
To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

[Chorus]
It's blow, boys, blow!
For Californio!
For thеre's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

[Verse 5]
Round the Horn an' up the Line
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
We're the bullies for to make her shine
To my hoodah, hoodah-ho

[Chorus]
It's blow, boys, blow!
For Californio!
For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento
