Away Rio Lyrics by The Jolly Rogers

Beg, Borrow and Steal

2016

[Verse 1]
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!
[Chorus]
And it's away Rio
Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Verse 2]
The chain’s up and down the Bosun did say
Away Rio!
Heave up the hawspipe, the anchor’s aweigh
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
[Chorus]
And it's away Rio
Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Verse 3]
The anchor is weighed and the sails they are set
Away Rio!
The girls that we're leaving will never forget
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Chorus]
And it's away Rio
Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Verse 4]
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!
[Chorus]
And it's away Rio
Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Verse 5]
Heave with a will, boys, heave long and heave strong!
Away Rio!
Sing a good chorus for 'tis a good song!
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Chorus]
And it's away Rio
Away Rio!
Sing fare thee well, my pretty young girl
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Verse 6]
And it's goodbye to Ellen and Molly and Sue
Away Rio!
To those that are listening, it's goodbye to you!
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!
[Chorus]
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!
