Away Rio 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
