The Ian McCalman Folk Group - Santiano

From The McCalmans' debut album, "All In One Mind" (1968).

Lyrics:

From Boston Town we sailed away
Heave aweigh, Santiano
'Round Cape Horn, down to Frisco Bay
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
So heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up, and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o

These Liverpool girls, they make a show
Heave aweigh, Santiano
They shake their hips with a roll and go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
So heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up, and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o

When I was young and in my prime
Heave aweigh, Santiano
I took these young girls three at a time
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
So heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up, and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o

When I leave ship, I'll settle down
Heave aweigh, Santiano
I'll marry a girl named Sally Brown
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
So heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up, and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o

So heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up, and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
