Rio Grande Lyrics

Oh, say, were you ever in Rio Grande?
Oh, you Rio!
It's there that the river runs down golden sand
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!

Then away, love away!
Oh, you Rio!
Sing fare you well, my pretty young girl,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.

Now, New York town is no place for me;
Oh, you Rio!
I'll pack up my trunk and I'll go off to sea.
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!

Then away, love away!
Oh, you Rio!
Sing fare you well, my pretty young girl,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande.

Now all you beach combers we'll have you to know
Oh, you Rio!
We're bound to the southern and glad for to go
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

Then away, love away!
Oh, you Rio!
Sing fare you well, my pretty young girl,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

So put down your bag and get it unpacked
Oh, you Rio!
The sooner we leave, the quicker we're back
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

Then away, love away!
Oh, you Rio!
Sing fare you well, my pretty young girl,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

The anchor is weighed and the gear all made fast
Oh, you Rio!
And the boys give a cheer when the harbor is past
And we're bound for the Rio Grande

Then away, love away!
Oh, you Rio!
Sing fare you well, my pretty young girl,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
