Ick heff mol een Hamborger Veermaster sehn,
To my hoo day, to my hoo day
De Masten so scheep as den Schipper sien Been,
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow, for Californio,
There's plenty of gold, so I am told,
On the banks of Sacramento.
Blow, boys, blow for Californio
There is plenty of gold so I am told,
On the banks of Sacramento.
Dat Logis weer vull Wanzen, de Kombüs weur vull Dreck,
To my hoo day, to my hoo day
De Beschüten, de leupen von sülven all weg.
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow for Californio
There is plenty of gold so I am told,
On the banks of Sacramento.

To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow for Californio
There is plenty of gold so I am told,
On the banks of Sacramento.
