Around Cape Horn     
This is a long drag shanty  

Around Cape Horn we've got to go  
To me way, hay, o-hio!

Around Cape Horn to Calle-a-o 
A long time ago! 

Round Cape Horn where the stiff winds blow, 
To me way, hay, o-hio!

Round Cape Horn where there's sleet and snow  
A long time ago!

I wish to God I'd never been born 
To me way, hay, o-hio!

To drag my carcass around Cape Horn 
A long time ago!
