Round Cape Horn in the months of snows,
Hoo-dah, to me hoo-dah,
If we get there nobody knows,
Hoo-dah, hoo-dah day.
Oh around the Horn with a mainsail set,
Around Cape Horn and we're all wringing wet.
Oh, around Cape Horn in the month of May,
Oh, around Cape Horn is a very long way.
To the Sacramento we're bound away,
To the Sacramento's a hell of a way.
Oh, a bully ship with a bully crew,
But the mate is a bastard through and through.
Ninety days to 'Frisco Bay,
Ninety days is damn good pay.
Sing and heave and heave and sing,
Heave and make them handspikes ring.
I wish to God I'd never been born,
To go a-rambling around Cape Horn.
