| lyric | 1. I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea.
Oh rio! I’ll sing you a song of the sea,
and we’re bound for the Rio Grande.
Than away, love away!
2. Sing goodbye to Sally, and goodbye to Sue,
and you who are listening, goodbye to you.
3. Our ship went sailing out over the bar,
and we pointed her nose to the Southeren Star.
4. Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain,
and we’re all of us coming to see you again.
5. I said farewell to Kitty my dear.
And she waved her white hand as we passed the South Pier.
6. The oak and the ash and the bonny birk tree,
they're all growing green in the North Countrie. |
