Hanna, I've been on the deck too long
   I should have known, but everything's worked out wrong
   I'd rather be cuddled up with you
   Than out on a ship with a dirty old crew
   There's always another run to make
   Far - far away
  
   So load her up! (Load her up)
   We're going home to Santiago
   Let her go (Let her go)
   Take her home to Santiago
  
   Hanna, I'll always belong to you
   But I want to do what all the young lovers do
   I've been alone in every damn town
   From Singapore up to the Hague and then down
   I bring her in and take her out again
   Far -far away
  
   So load her up! (Load her up)
   We're going home to Santiago
   Let her go (Let her go)
   Take her home to Santiago
  
   Hanna, I'm sailing the old ship home
   Another week and we'll never sleep alone
   It's so hard, no matter what I do
   To spend another night with a picture of you
   Turning from side to side in my bed
   Far- far away
  
   So load her up! (Load her up)
   We're going home to Santiago
   Let her go (Let her go)
   Take her home to Santiago
  
   So load her up! (Load her up)
   We're going home to Santiago
   Let her go (Let her go)
   Take her home to Santiago
