RIO GRANDE.

Where are you goin' to my pretty maid!
Way Heigh-ho!
O where are you goin' to my pretty maid?
We're bound for the Rio Grande.
Refrain. Then away Heigh-ho, away Heigh-ho!
Sing fare you well,
My bonnie young girl,
For we're bound for the Rio Grande.

Jolly our ship and jolly our crew,
Way Heigh-ho !
Jolly our mate Our good Skipper too
For we're bound for the Rio Grande.

This was recorded by the Minster Singers of London circa 1905.
