Then away, love, away,
Way down Rio!
So fare ye well, my pretty young gal,
For we're bound for the Rio Grande!

Sing goodbye to Sally and goodbye to Sue,
Oh, Rio!
And you who are listening goodbye to you,
For we're bound for the Rio Grande!

Then away, love, away,
Way down , Rio!
So fare ye well, my pretty young gal,
For we're bound for the Rio Grande!

Our ship went sailing out over the Bar,
Oh, Rio!
And we pointed her nose for the SouthernStar
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!

The oak,the ash and the bonny birk tree,
Oh, Rio!
They're all blooming in the North Countrie
And we're bound for the Rio Grande!

Then away, love, away,
Then away, down Rio!!
So fare ye well, my pretty young gal,
We are bound for the Rio Grande!
