At last we sailed past Rio Grande
A-headed round Cape Horn
We'll make our way to Valpo Bay
Before it's Christmas morn
Pray that we ride a faithful tide
Our topsail's blowing free
We've many gifts for them Valpo gals
'Fore we head back to sea
We'll take up loads of good supplies
To the California coast
We'll bring them miner forty-niners
What they need the most
Pray that we ride a faithful tide
Our topsail's blowing free
We'll kiss them California girls
'Fore we head back to sea
The port of San Francisco is
Now many miles behind
We're rolling back to Liverpool
A-blowing on the wind
Pray that we ride a faithful tide
Our topsail's blowing free
Once more we'll kiss them Valpo gals
'Fore we head back to sea
And when our sailing is all done
We go back around the Horn
Be sure of your boots and oilskins
Or you wish you'd never been born
Pray that we ride a faithful tide
Our topsail's blowing free
We'll say hello to them Liverpool gals
'Fore we head back to sea
