The Weavers

The Weavers were an American folk music quartet based in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. They sang traditional folk songs from around the world, as well as blues, gospel music, children's songs, labor songs, and American ballads, and sold millions of records at the height of their popularity. Their hard-driving string-band style inspired the commercial "folk boom" that followed them in the 1950s and 1960s, including such performing groups as The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul, and Mary. more »

From Boston Town, we're bound away
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Around Cape Horn to Frisco Bay
We're bound for Californi-o

So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californi-o

She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
A down-east Yankee for her captain too
We're bound for Californi-o

So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californi-o

Back in the days of '49
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Those were the days of the good old times
We're bound for Californi-o

When I leave ship I'll settle down
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
I'll marry a girl named Sally Brown
We're bound for Californi-o

So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californi-o

There's plenty of gold, so I've been told
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Plenty of gold, so I've been told
Way out in Californi-o

So heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Heave her up and away we'll go
We're bound for Californi-o
