Lyrics:

Ick heff mol een Hamborger Veermaster sehn
To my hooday!
De Masten so scheep as den Schipper sien Been
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow, for Californio
There's plenty of gold, so I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
Dat Deck weer vull Isen, vull Dreck un vull Smeer
'Rein Schipp' weer den Oll'n sin scheunstes Pläseer
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow, for Californio
There's plenty of gold, so I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
De Kombüs weer vull Lüüs, de Kajüt weer vull Schiet
To my hooday!
De Beschüten, de leupen von sülvens all wiet
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow, for Californio
There's plenty of gold, so I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
Dat Soltfleesch weer gr?un, un de Speck wör vull Modn
To my hooday!
Un Köm geef dat blots an Wiehnachtsob?nd
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!

Blow, boys, blow, for Californio
There's plenty of gold, so I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
Un wulln wi mol seiln, ick sech ji dat nur
To my hooday!
Denn lööp he dree vorut un veer wedder retur
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow, for Californio
There's plenty of gold, so I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
Un as dat Schipp, so weer ok de Kaptein
To my hooday!
De Lüüd för dat Schipp, de weern ok blots schangheit
To my hoo day, hoo day, ho - ho - ho - ho!
Blow, boys, blow, for Californio
There's plenty of gold, so I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
