Away Rio
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The anchor is weighed and sails they are set. Away, Rio!
The girls back home we'll never forget for we're bound for the
Rio Grande.
And away, Rio! High away, Rio! The girls back home we'll never
forget for we're bound for the Rio Grande.
Two more days, Johnny, two more days. Only two more days,
Johnny, two more days.
The mainsail is up and the spinnaker's out. Away, Rio!
We'll head for Cape Horn and then pull her about for we're bound
for the Rio Grande.
And away, Rio! High away, Rio! We'll head for Cape Horn and then
pull her about for we're bound for the Rio Grande.
One more day, Johnny, one more day. Only one more day, Johnny,
one more day.
When we get to Rio we'll drop all our pay. Away, Rio!
And young Michael Christian is countin' the days for we're bound
for the Rio Grande.
And away, Rio! High away, Rio! And young Michael Christian is
countin' the days for we're found for the Rio Grande.
There she lies, Johnny, there she lies. There she lies, Johnny,
there she lies.
