Away Rio   
Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com           

The Anchor is weighed and the sails they are set 

Away Rio!

The maids we are leaving we'll never forget,

For we're bound for the Rio Grande, and

Away Rio! Aye Rio!

We're bound away this very day

For we're bound for the Rio Grande

 So pack up your donkey and get under way,

The girls we are leaving can take our half pay

 
We've a jolly good ship and a jolly good crew,

 A jolly good mate and a good skipper too

 
We'll sing as we heave to the maidens we leave

And you who are listening, goodbye to you

 
Heave with a will and heave long and strong

Sing the good chorus for 'tis a good song

 
Heave only one pawl then vast heavin' belay

Heave steady because we say farewell today

 
The chain's up and down , now the bosun did say

Heave up to the hawspipe, the anchor's away
