GUEST,Joxer Lyr Req: Santianno / Santiano Kingston Trio (23) RE: Lyr Req: Santianno 09 Jan 09


I learned this back in the seventies, don't remember where, may have been Scotland.

"From Boston harbour we are bound
Heave away, Santiano
Boston harbour round Cape Horn
And we're bound for Californio

Chorus
So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave away, Santiano
Heave her up and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californio

We've a bloody good skipper and a bloody good crew
Heave away, Santiano
And our ship she is a good'un too
And we're bound for Californio

The captain's name it is John Brown
Heave away, Santiano
A better skipper has never been found
And we're bound for Californio

When I grow up and leave the sea
Heave away Santiano
I'll marry a girl named Biddy McGee
And we're bound for Californio

Anybody know any more?
