lyrics

I'll sing you my song of the fish of the sea.
Oh Rio!
So listen ye well and I'll sing it for thee
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

Then away love, away,
Oh Rio!
And fare ye well my own true love,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

They've bid their farewells to the girls of this town,
Oh Rio!
And with their half pay we'll buy our silk gowns,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande,

He think I don't know it but surely I do,
Oh Rio!
There's a girl in each port who thinks that he's true,
And he's bound for the Rio Grande.

Then away love, away,
Oh Rio!
And fare ye well my own true love,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

His ship went sailing out over the Bar,
Oh rio!
And pointed it's head to the Southern Star,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

And I waved him away with my lacy 'kerchief,
Oh Rio!
Then I slipped me away like a night bound theif,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande,

Then away love, away,
Oh Rio!
And fare ye well my own true love,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

So man the good capstan and run it around,
Oh Rio!
And heave up the anchor to this jolly sound,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande,

And while he's away my heart will be true,
Oh Rio!
But 'till he returns I have my fun too,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

Then away love, away,
Oh Rio!
And fare ye well my own true love,
For he's bound for the Rio Grande.

Now I've sung you my song of the fish in the sea,
Oh Rio!
There's plenty for him and there's plenty for me,
When he's bound for the Rio Grande.
