Motley Words

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

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

Sing good bye to Sally and good bye to Sue,
And you who are listening, good bye to you

Our ship went sailing out over the bar,
And we pointed her nose for the South-er-on Star

The oak, the ash, and the bonny birk tree,
They’re all blooming green in the North Country

Then away, love, away, away down Rio
So fare ye well my pretty young girl
