W. H. Smith, Liverpool, Nova Scotia, August 15, 1948

lyrics

Rio Grande - W.H. Smith [1:03]
AC: 2252 - MF NO: 289.231

Recorded: Liverpool, August 15, 1948. [See note for #5]

___ fair London street,
Away to Rio,
A pretty fair maiden I did meet,
And I’m bound for the Rio Grande.

And away to Rio, away to Rio,
Sing fare you well my bonny brown girl,
And I’m bound for the Rio Grande.

And I said, “Fair maid will you go with me?”
Away to Rio,
“Oh no kind sir, my lover is here,
And we’re bound for the Rio Grande.”
