He was singing about Valparaiso

Singing as though in a dream

White sandy beaches

And warm gentle breeze

Palm trees that reach to

The blue southern seas

And he sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso

When will the wind blow me down there again

Valparaiso, Valparaiso

Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man

He was singing of days on the ocean

Of trade winds and rounding the Horn

Fair winds and foul winds

Of hard work and ease

Friends found and lost

On the great southern seas

And he sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso

When will the wind blow me down there again

Valparaiso, Valparaiso

Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man

We all sat in that hushed smokey tavern

As winter winds raged 'round the door

Ears keen and listening and eyes far away

Wishing that we could all go there someday

And we sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso

When will the wind blow me down there again

Valparaiso, Valparaiso

Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man
