Santiano Lyrics

Highwaymen Santiano

We're sailing 'cross the river from Liverpool
Heave aweigh, Santiano
'Round Cape Horn to Frisco Bay
Way out in Californ-i-o

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
So, heave her up and away we'll go
Way out in Californ-i-o

There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Heave aweigh, Santiano
There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Way out in Californ-i-o

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out in Californ-i-o

Well, back in the days of forty-nine
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Back in the days of the good old times
Way out in Californ-i-o

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out in Californ-i-o

When I leave ship, I'll settle down
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Marry a girl named Sally Brown
Way out in Californi-i-o

So, heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh, Santiano
Heave her up and away we'll go
Way out in Californ-i-o
