Nathan Evans The Banks Of Sacramento Lyrics
Sing and heave, and heave and sing
To me hoodah! To me hoodah!
Heave and make the handspikes spring
To me hoodah, hoodah, ho!
its blow, boys, blow
For Californio!
For there’s plenty of gold
So I’ve been told
On the banks of Sacramento!
Limehouse Docks, to Sydney Heads
To me hoodah! To me hoodah!
was never more than seventy days
To me hoodah, hoodah, ho!
it’s blow, boys, blow
For Californio!
For there’s plenty of gold
So I’ve been told,
On the banks of the Sacramento!
around Cape Horn in the month o’ May
To me hoodah! To me hoodah!
around Cape Horn is a very long way
To me hoodah, hoodah, ho!
it’s blow, boys, blow
For Californio!
For 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 hoodah! To me hoodah!
Roll down the hill with a hullabaloo
To me hoodah, hoodah, ho!
it’s blow, boys, blow
For Californio!
For there’s plenty of gold
So I’ve been told
On the banks of the Sacramento!
Round the Horn an’ up the Line
To me hoodah! To me hoodah!
We’re the bullies for to make ‘er shine
To me hoodah, hoodah, ho!
it’s blow, boys, blow
For Californio!
For there’s plenty of gold
So I’ve been told
On the banks of the Sacramento!
