Our ship went a-sailin' on over the bar
(Away for Rio!)
And we pointed our bow to the old southern star
(And we're bound for the Rio Grande!) [continues throughout]
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
Oh say was you never down Rio Grande?
It's there that the water runs down golden sand
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
There was some of us sick and some of us sore
We scoffed all our lime juice and can't get no more
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
So pack up your donkeys an' get underway
Them girls we are leavin' will get our half-pay
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
Goodbye to Molly and goodbye to Sue
You folks on the quay side, it's goodbye to you
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
Sing only one pull avast heaving my sons
Sing only one chorus it's blowing big guns
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
And away, boys, away!
Away for Rio,
So fare thee well, all you pretty young girls,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.
