I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea

Way Rio

I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea

And we're bound for the Rio grande

Then away love away way Rio

So fare ye well my pretty young gal

We are bound for the Rio grande

It's goodbye to sally and goodbye to sue

Way Rio

And you who are listening goodbye to you

For we're bound for the Rio grande

So man the good capstan and run it around

Way Rio

We'll heave up the anchor to this jolly sound

For we're bound for the Rio grande

Then away love away way Rio

So fare ye well my pretty young gal

We are bound for the Rio grande

Our ship went a-sailing out over the bar

Way Rio

We pointed her nose for the southeren star

For we're bound for the Rio grande

Then away love away way Rio

So fare ye well my pretty young gal

We are bound for the Rio grande

The anchor is weighed and the sails they are set

Way Rio

The maids that we're leaving we'll never forget

For we're bound for the Rio grande

Then away love away

Way Rio

So fare ye well my pretty young gal

We are bound for the Rio grande
