Oh, the gallant men of Canapa tribe, they heard the sound.
[A] They petered the four miles ten feet without rebound.
We were waiting there for orders to send us far from home.
And orders came for me, [B] oh, and they surrounded [A] the port.
[B] When we arrived in Río, the men of [A] Canapa tribe,
Boys did all night, me and boys, and men from all the sail.
We were shipping things here since we did sail along.
And wished the pleasant [B] weather in the land [A] of Cape Horn.
[B] We often demonstrate to the [A] sea they are.
While showing a sail, the gallant tars fell from the top sail yard.
By head, it leads to boat, and therefore hands were stoned.
We were forced to leave them to the [B] sharks that prowled [A] around Cape Horn.

[A] [B] When we were [D] found, the only [Bm] boys, we had [A] some glue to stay.
And there we stood, our kelly dropped, and bowed our eyes away.
The pretty girls come down in flocks, all sullenly to play.
They're far above, looking [E] at the girls with their [A] lonely hair.
Oh, that love is [D] all that they'll [B] ever wear when they space [A] as money dreams.
They'll die for the same, and very, very dear, how the girls will sleep.
And when the money is all gone, they won't come to you in full.
They are the black, the [B] pearl of gold, and steel and [A] porcelain gold.

[B] [Bm] [B]
[A] So farewell [D] to the horizon, we'll [A] go for a while.
Like words, you Spanish girls, along the coast of child.
If ever I live to be paid off, I'll be a citizen of Seoul.
God bless the pretty [Bm] Spanish girls with [A] their lonely core.
