O, around Cape Horn we are bound to go
Around Cape Horn through the sleet and snow

Blow boys blow for Cal-i-forn-i-o
There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

Oh, around Cape Horn in the month o' May
Oh, around Cape Horn is a very long way

Blow boys blow for Cal-i-forn-i-o
There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

Them Spanish gals ain't got no combs
They comb their locks with tunny-fish bones

Blow boys blow for Cal-i-forn-i-o
There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

We're the bullies for to kick her through
Roll down the hill with a hullabaloo

Blow boys blow for Cal-i-forn-i-o
There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento
We'll crack it on, on a big skiyoot
Ol' Bully Jim is a bloody big brute
