We were sick on the beach and our money was gone
Way for Rio!
So we signed on this packet to drive her along
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
There was some of us sick
There was some of us sore
Way for Rio!
We had drunk all our drink we were looking for more
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And away, bullies, away
Way for Rio!
Sing "Fare thee well, my Liverpool girls"
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
We're a deep water ship and a deep water crew
Way for Rio!
But we don't like the grub
No, I'm damned if we do
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
So heave up the anchor
Oh, heave her a-weigh
Way for Rio!
She's got a good grip, bullies, heave her all day,
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And away, bullies, away
Way for Rio!
Sing "Fare thee well, my Liverpool girls"
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
Way for Rio!
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
Oh, where are you bound to me bully boys all?
Way for Rio!
We're bound for the southward me bully boys all
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And what will you do there me bully boys all?
Way for Rio!
We'll dig for our gold there me bully boys all
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And away, bullies, away
Way for Rio!
Sing "Fare thee well, my Liverpool girls"
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And away, bullies, away
Way for Rio!
Sing "Fare thee well, my Liverpool girls"
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
