Hoist the yards from Chesapeake Bay Baltimore is where I hail South to the horn through Falkland Way To California sail Many years I've been at sea Things have gone from bad to worse With every trip around the horn I fear the dutchman's curse Through winds of the roaring 40s Our clipper makes its way In the gales and tow'ring seas A sailor learns to pray I took my leave in San Jose And found a girl to be my wife She'll say yes if I will stay And leave the sailor's life Tales I hear in this harbor town Gold there finding in the hills If only I could stay on land But I'm a sailor still Through winds of the roaring 40s Our clipper makes its way In the gales and tow'ring seas A sailor learns to pray Through winds of the roaring 40s Our clipper makes its way In the gales and tow'ring seas A sailor learns to pray Back through the 40s, east then north Point me home to Baltimore I'll live my days on the dark dry earth A sailing man no more
