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!
