Away Rio


Have you ever been out on the Rio Grande?
Away Rio
It's there that the river runs down golden sand
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

CHORUS:
Away boys away
Away Rio
So fare ye well my bonny young girl
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

It's pack up your sea chest and get under way
Away Rio
The girls we are leaving can take half our pay
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

Oh the anchor is weighed and the sails they are set
Away Rio
The maidens we're leaving we'll never forget
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

Sing good bye to Sally and sue
Away Rio
And all who are listening, it's good bye to you
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
