I have that book by Gale Huntington (Dover reprint), but can't find it at present. I'll post another version, instead, from Joanna C. Colcord, Songs of American Sailormen (1938; Oak, 1964, pp. 191-193; with tune & chords).

DIEGO'S BOLD SHORES
(Forecastle song)

"Sperm-whalers of the south latitudes sang the following song, which was doubtless of shore composition. 'Diego' meant the Diego Ramirez rocks off Cape Horn--in sailor's lingo 'Dago Rammerees,' or simply 'The Rammerees.' (Cf. Masefield's 'Song of Shipwreck.') The air was furnished by Joseph McGinnis, and the words are a combination of his version and that of R. M. Davids." (Colcord)
Did the love of adventure, the promise of gold,
And an ardent desire for to roam,
Ever tempt you away o'er the watery world,
Far away from your kindred and home?
With a storm-beaten captain free-hearted and bold,
And a score of brave fellows or two,
Enured to the hardships of hunger and cold,
A fearless and jovial crew.

Have you ever cruised off Diego's bold shores
That are washed by the Antarctic wave,
Where the snowy-plumed albatross merrily soars
Over many a poor whaler's grave?
Have you ever roamed in the evergreen glades
That are teeming with dainties so rare?
Did you ever make love 'neath the cocoanut shade
To the dark island maids that dwell there?

Did you hear from the mast-head the shout "There she blows,"
See the boats gaily leave the ship's side,
See the mighty fish quiver 'neath the harpooner's blows
As the water with crimson is dyed?
Have you seen the foam fly from the mighty sperm whale
That when boldly attacked in his lair,
With one sweep of his mighty and ponderous tail
Sends the whaleboat so high in the air?

Did you ever join in with a boisterous cheer
Ringing high over Heaven's blue dome
When rich with the spoils you have purchased so dear
You hoisted your topsails, bound home?
And after the voyage, when Columbia's coast
Loomed proudly from out the blue main,
Have you felt that joy that you longed for the most
Of meeting your loved ones again?
