Hamburger Veermaster

Ick heff mol en Hamborger Veermaster sehn
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
De masten so scheev as den Schipper sien been
To my hoodah, hoodah ho

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I am told
On the banks of Sacramento

Dat Deck weer vun Isen, vull Schiet un vull Smeer
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
Dat weer de Schietgäng ehr schönstes Pläseer
To my hoodah, hoodah ho

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I am told
On the banks of Sacramento

Dat Logis weer vull Wanzen, de Kombüs weer vull Dreck
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
De Beschüten, de löpen von sülven al weg
To my hoodah, hoodah ho

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I am told
On the banks of Sacramento

Dat Soltfleesch weer gröön un de Speck weer vull Maden
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
Kööm geev dat blots an Wiehnachtsavend
To my hoodah, hoodah ho

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I am told
On the banks of Sacramento

Un wull'n wi mol seil'n, ik segg dat ja nur
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
Denn lööp he dree vörut un veer wedder retour
To my hoodah, hoodah ho

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I am told
On the banks of Sacramento

As dat Schipp so weer ok de Kaptein
To my hoodah, to my hoodah
De Lüüd för dat Schipp würrn ok blots schanghaied
To my hoodah, hoodah ho

Blow, boys blow, for Californio
There is plenty of gold
So I am told
On the banks of Sacramento
