Lyrics : Away Rio

Oh, the anchor is weighed, and the sails they are set
'Way, you Rio
The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget
For we're bound to the Rio Grande
And away, you Rio! 'Way, you Rio
The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget
For we're bound to the Rio Grande

So goodbye to the ladies we know in this town:
'Way, you Rio
We've left you enough to buy a silk gown
For we're bound to the Rio Grande
And away, you Rio! 'Way, you Rio
We've left you enough to buy a silk gown
For we're bound to the Rio Grande

We've a ship that is stout and a jolly good crew:
'Way, you Rio
A brass-knuckled mate and a rough skipper, too
For we're bound to the Rio Grande
And away, you Rio! 'Way, you Rio
A brass-knuckled mate and a rough skipper, too
For we're bound to the Rio Grande

We'll sell all our salt cod, molasses and rum
'Way, you Rio
And get home again 'fore Thanksgiving has come
For we're bound to the Rio Grande
And away, you Rio! 'Way, you Rio
And get home again 'fore Thanksgiving has come
For we're bound to the Rio Grande
