To Cuba's coast we are bound, me boys
'Weigh me boys, for Cuba!
To Cuba's coast, now don't you make a noise
And we're running down to Cuba

The captain he will set the sails
'Weigh me boys, for Cuba!
Winging the water over the rails
And we're running down to Cuba

Oh my God! How the wind do blow
'Weigh me boys, for Cuba!
Running south from the ice and the snow
And we're running down to Cuba

I got a gal that's a nine feet tall
'Weigh me boys, for Cuba!
Sleeps in the kitchen with his feet in the hall
And we're running down to Cuba

Give me a gal that will dance Fandango
Weigh, me boys, to Cuba!
Round like a melon and sweet as a mango 
And we're running down to Cuba

To Cuba's coast we are bound away
'Weigh me boys, for Cuba!
To Cuba's coast, it's the breaking of the day
And we're running down to Cuba
