"Sacramento" lyrics
"Sacramento"
O, around Cape Horn we are bound to go
To me roo-dah, roo-dah
Around Cape Horn through the sleet and snow
To me roo-dah, roo-dah, day
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
Oh, around Cape Horn in the month of May
To me roo-dah, roo-dah
Oh, around Cape Horn is a very long way
To me roo-dah, roo-dah, day
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
Them Spanish girls ain't got no combs
To me roo-dah, roo-dah
They comb their locks with tunny-fish bones
To me roo-dah, roo-dah, day
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
We're the bullies for to kick her through
To me roo-dah, roo-dah
Roll down the hill with a hullabaloo
To me roo-dah, roo-dah, day
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
We'll crack it on, on a big skiyoot
To me roo-dah, roo-dah
And ol' Bully Jim is a bloody big brute
To me roo-dah, roo-dah, day
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
When we gets up to 'Frisco town
To me roo-dah, roo-dah
I'll stand you's whiskey's all around
To me roo-dah, roo-dah, day
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
Blow, boys, blow
For Californ-I-O
There's plenty of gold so I've been told
On the banks of the Sacramento
