Going Round The Horn -

This is Philadelphia, a lawyer I am not

Now love I must be honest, with you I cast my lot

I have got no skill and there’s no work for me here

But I have heard there’s gold out in California, dear.

We’re going ‘round the Horn, love, going ‘round the Horn

There’s gold in California, we’re going ‘round the Horn.

Now is your hope for happiness with me enough?

Will you come along even though it may be rough?

We’ve got our families here and I am gone

'Cause we’ve saved just enough for our passage round the Horn.

We’re going ‘round the Horn, love, going ‘round the Horn

There’s gold in California, we’re going ‘round the Horn.

Oh, overland is risky and many don’t survive

Sailing boats take longer but then most arrive

California is all our chances and our hope

Would you take your chances with me and elope?

We’re going ‘round the Horn, love, going ‘round the Horn

There’s gold in California, we’re going ‘round the Horn.

We’re going ‘round the Horn, love, going ‘round the Horn

There’s gold in California, we’re going ‘round the Horn.

We’re going ‘round the Horn, love, going ‘round the Horn

There’s gold in California, we’re going ‘round the Horn.

We’re going ‘round the Horn, love, going ‘round the Horn

There’s gold in California, we’re going ‘round the Horn.
