BANGIDERO SOLO To Chile's coast we are bound away, CHORUS To my hero Bangidero. SOLO To Chile's coast we are bound away, CHORUS To drink and dance fandango SOLO To Chile's coast we are bound away, Where the Spanish girls are so bright and gay! CHORUS To my hero Bangidero! Singing Hey...... for a gay Hash girl! The girls of Chile are hard to beat, From top to toe, they are trim and neat, From their black mantillas to their natty feet. My Julia's beauty is rich and rare, And with the smartest she can compare, With her well-set figure, and her jet-black hair. The old senoras, as may be seen, Are frigate-molded, from ttuck to keel, With their quarter galleries, and breadth of beam. And when the time comes to say farewell, From old Coquimbo to Coronel, We'll send our addios, and we'll wish 'em well.
From Captain Robinson's collection, "Songs of the Chantey Man," published during July and August of 1917 as a series in the periodical The Bellman. (Minneapolis, MN, 1906-1919). Robinson stated that the refrain given was never actually sung, but substituted for the original which was too vulgar for publication.
