Away Rio

Oh the anchor is weighed and the sails they are set Chorus ‘Way you Rio The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget Chorus 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 Chorus For we're bound to the Rio Grande So goodbye to the ladies we know in this town We've left you enough to buy a silk gown We've a ship that is stout and a jolly good crew A brass knuckled mate and a rough skipper too We'll sell all our salt cod molasses and rum And get home again ‘fore Thanksgiving has come Sing goodbye to Elsie and goodbye to Sue And you who are listening goodbye to you Our good ship's a goin' out over the bar We'll point her nose for the southern star
