Bound for the Rio Grande
I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea, Oh Rio I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea, And we're bound for the Rio Grande
Then away, love, away, Way down Rio So fare ye well my pretty young girl For we're bound for the Rio Grande
Sing good bye to Sally and good bye to Sue, Oh Rio And you who are listening, good bye to you For we're bound for the Rio Grande
Then away, love, away, Way down Rio So fare ye well my pretty young girl For we're bound for the Rio Grande
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Our ship went sailing out over the bar, Oh Rio And we pointed her nose for the South-er-on Star For we're bound for the Rio Grande
The oak, the ash, and the bonny birk tree, Oh Rio They're all blooming green in the North Country And we're bound for the Rio Grande
Then away, love, away, Then away down Rio So fare ye well my pretty young girl For we're bound for the Rio Grande
Sung mostly when heaving up anchor, it was first sung in the Brazil trade and was inspired by the port and province of Rio Grande do Sul. It was a beautiful place and the sailors used to love it there.
