Rio Grande.

The anchor is up and we're sailing away,
Way you Rio
And the wind it is fair to sail out of the bay.
for we're bound for the Rio Grande!
        And away you Rio! Oh! you Rio!
        Then fare you well, my bonny young girl,
        for we're bound for the Rio Grande!

The score reflects a way of writing (singing?) the chanty, -- I have seen before but not noted it -- where the "Ri" of "Rio" occur before rather than on the downbeat.
