Hoo ah da, does the black man say,
To me hoodha, to me hoodha,
Hoo dah da, does the black man say,
To me hoodah, hoodah da

Blow, bullies, blow!
For Californ-eye-O!
There is plenty of gold, so I’ve been told,
On the banks of the Sacramento.

There’s gold for you and gold for me
So around the Horn and set to sea.
