Comments: Old shanty of which the refrain goes as follows:
''And it's blow, ye winds, heigh-ho,
For Cal-i-for-ni-o;
For there's plenty of gold so I've been told,
On the banks of the Sacramento!''
These lines are also quoted in "The Banks of Sacramento", one of the nineteen original collections of short stories by American writer Jack London (1876-1916) published during his brief life or shortly after his death.
