We'll sail across the river from Liverpool
Heave aweigh, Santa Anna (Santiano)
Heave her up and away we’ll go
Way out in Californ-i-o.

There’s plenty of gold, so I’ve been told
Heave aweigh, Santa Anna (Santiano)
Plenty of gold, so I’ve been told
Way out in Californ-i-o.

Aaaa aaa aa aa ay-e

Back in the days of forty-nine
Heave aweigh, Santa Anna (Santiano)
Back in the days of the good old time
Way out in Californ-i-o

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santa Anna (Santiano)
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out in Californ-i-o

Aaaa aaa aa aa ay-e

There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Heave aweigh, Santa Anna (Santiano)
Plenty of gold, so I've been told
Way out in Californ-i-o

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santa Anna (Santiano)
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out in Californ-i-o
