Round the bay of MexicoWay up SuzyannaMexico's the place that I belong in
Round the bay of Mexico Been to sea for a month or more
Way up SuzyannaLookin' forward to my time on shore
Round the bay of Mexico The wind is high, the sky is blue
Way up SuzyannaBound to anchor in a day or two
Round the bay of Mexico I can see it all before my eye
Way up SuzyannaA big café and a bottle full o' rye
Round the bay of Mexico Some beans and rice to soothe my taste
Way up SuzyannaI ain't gonna let nothin' go to waste
Round the bay of Mexico Put some kerchiefs in my bag
Way up SuzyannaTell a tale or two so I can really brag
Round the bay of Mexico There's Rosita and Chiquita and pretty maid BellWay up SuzyannaIf I meet them all at once I'll never get well
