Lyrics:

Ick heff mol en Hamborger Veermaster sehn
 To my hooday, to my hooday
De Masten so scheev as den Schipper sien been
 To my hooday, hooday ho-o-o-o

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

Dat Deck weer vun Isen, vull Schiet un vull Smeer
 To my hooday, to my hooday
Dat weer de Schietgäng ehr grösstes Pläseer
 To my hooday, hooday ho-o-o-o

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

Dat Logis weer vull Wanzen, de Kombüs weer vull Dreck
 To my hooday, to my hooday
De Beschüten, de löpen von sülven al weg
 To my hooday, hooday ho-o-o-o

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

Dat Soltfleesch weer gröan un de Speck weer vull Moden
 To my hooday, to my hooday
Un Kööm geev dat blos an Wiehnachtsovend
 To my hooday, hooday ho-o-o-o

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

Un wull'n wi mol seil'n, ik segg dat jo nur
 To my hooday, to my hooday
Denn lööp he dree vörut un veer wedder retour
 To my hooday, hooday ho-o-o-o

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento

As dat Schipp so weer ök de Kaptein
 To my hooday, to my hooday
De Lüüd för dat Schipp würrn ok blots schanghaied
 To my hooday, hooday ho-o-o-o

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I've been told
On the banks of Sacramento
