I’ll sing you a song of the fish of the sea
Oooooooh Rio
I’ll sing you a song of the fish of the sea
And we’re bound for the Rio Grande

Refrein:
Then away love away
Way down Rio
So fare you well my pretty young girl
For we’re bound for the Rio Grande

The anchors a’ weigh and the sails they are set
Oooooooh Rio
the town we are leaving we’ll never forget
And we’re bound for the Rio grande

Sing goodbye to Sally and goodbye to Sue
Ooooooh Rio
And all who are listening – goodbye to you
And we’re bound for the Rio Grande
