Rounding the Horn
It's of the frigate, Amphitrite,
She lay in Plymouth Sound,
Blue Peter at her foremast head
For she was outward bound;
We were waiting there for orders
To take us far from home;
Our orders came for Rio,
And thence around Cape Horn.
And when we got to Rio
We prepared for heavy gales;
We set up all new rigging, boys.
Bent on all new sails.
From ship to ship they cheered us
As we did sail along,
They wished us pleasant weather
In rounding of Cape Horn.
While beating off Magellan Strait
It blew exceeding hard;
Whilst shortening sails two gallant tars
Fell from the topmost yard.
By angry seas the ropes we threw
From their poor hands were torn.
We had to leave them to the sharks
That prowl around Cape Horn.
And when we got round the Horn, my boys,

We had some glorious days.
And very soon our killick dropped
In Valparaiso Bay.
Them pretty girls came down in flocks;
I solemnly declare
They're far before them Plymouth girls
With their long and curly hair.
They love a jolly sailor
When he spends his money free.
They laugh and sing and merry, merry be;
They enjoy a jovial spree.
And when your money is all gone
They won't on you impose.
They are not like them Plymouth girls
Who steal and pawn your clothes.
Farewell to Valparaiso,
And farewell for a while.
And likewise to them Spanish girls
All on the coast of Chile.
And if ever l live to be paid off
'God bless them pretty Spanish girls
We left around Cape Horn.'
