Rio Grande (remastered) Songtext
von Seán Dagher

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 were some of us sick, there were some of us sore.
′Way for Rio.
We had scoffed all our grub and were looking for more
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
So aweigh, bullies, aweigh.
'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, let's heave it aweigh
′Way for Rio
It's got a good grip, bullies, heave her all day
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
So aweigh, bullies, aweigh.


′Way for Rio.
Sing fare thee well, my Liverpool girls.
And we′re bound for the Rio Grande
'Way for Rio.
Oh where are you bound to, me bullies boys all?
We′re bound to the south'ard, me bullies boys all
And we′re bound for the Rio Grande
And what will you do there, me bullies boys all?
'Way for Rio.
We′ll dig for our fortune, me bullies boys all
And we're bound for the Rio Grande
So aweigh, bullies, aweigh.
'Way for Rio.
Sing fare thee well, my Liverpool girls.
And we′re bound for the Rio Grande
We′ll dig for our gold there, me bullies boys all
'Way for Rio.
Or die of the fever, me bullies boys, all
And we′re bound for the Rio Grande
So heave with a will boys, oh heave long and strong
'Way for Rio.
So sing a good chorus of a bully good song
And we′re bound for the Rio Grande
So aweigh, bullies, aweigh.
'Way for Rio.
Sing fare thee well, my Liverpool girls.
And we′re bound for the Rio Grande
Yes we're bound for the Rio Grande
