Rio Grande
- 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!
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
- There was some of us sick and some of us sore
We scoffed all our lime juice and can't get no more
- So pack up your donkeys an' get underway
Them girls we are leavin' will get our half-pay
- Sing goodbye to Molly and goodbye to Sue
You folks on the quay side, it's goodbye to you
- Heave only one pawl, then 'vast heaving, me sons
Sing only one chorus ,it's blowin' big guns!
