I'll sing you a song, a good song of the sea
Away Rio!
I'll sing it to you If you'll sing it with me
And we're bound for the Rio Grande, and it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
The chain's up and down the bosun did say
Away Rio!
Heave up to the hawspipe, the anchor's away
And we're bound for the Rio Grande, and it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The Anchor is weighed and the sails they are set
Away Rio!
The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget
And we're bound for the Rio Grande, and it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Oh fare ye well all ye ladies of town
Away Rio!
We've left you enough for to buy a silk gown
And we're bound for the Rio Grande, and it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Heave with the will boys heave long and heave strong
Away Rio!
Sing the good chorus for 'tis a good song
And we're bound for the Rio Grande, and it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
And it's goodbye to Ellen and Molly and Sue
Away Rio!
And those that are listening, it's goodbye to you
And we're bound for the Rio Grande, and it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
And it's
Away Rio! Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl, and
We're bound for the Rio Grande
We're bound for the Rio Grande
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooooh
