Round the Bay of Mexico
Way up Suzianna
Mexico is the place that I belong in
Round the Bay of Mexico

Been to sea for a month or more
Way up Suzianna
Lookin’ forward to my time on shore
Round the Bay of Mexico

Round the Bay of Mexico…

The wind is high, the sky is blue
Way up Suzianna
Bound to anchor in a day or two
Round the Bay of Mexico

Round the Bay of Mexico…

I can see it all before my eye
Way up Suzianna
A big café and a bottle full o’ rye
Round the Bay of Mexico

Round the Bay of Mexico
Way up Suzianna
Mexico is the place that I belong in
Round the Bay of Mexico

Some beans and rice to soothe my taste
Way up Suzianna
I ain’t gonna let nothin’ go to waste
Round the Bay of Mexico

Round the Bay of Mexico…
