IVE never sailed the Amazon,
Ive never reached Brazil;
But the Don and Magdelana,
they will!
Yes, on,
Great steamers, we and gold,
Go rolling doo Rio
(Roll doo Rio!)
And Id like to roll to Rio
Some day before Im old!
Ive never seen a Jaguar,
Nor yet an Armadill
O dilloing in his armour,
And I spose I never will,
Unless I go to Rio
to behold--
Roll doo Rio--
